2024 Elite 11 Finals: Who Could Take Home MVP?
The Elite 11 Finals is a showcase for the best, young Quarterbacks in the country to compete against one another before entering their College. We have seen some illustrious names participate in this event, such as Andrew Luck, Matt Stafford, and Trevor Lawrence, and notable winners such as C.J. Stroud, Tua Tagovailoa, Caleb Williams, and more. If you want to put yourself on NFL teams’ radars early, the participants at the 2024 Elite 11 Finals can do just that with a good showing.
We just posted the full roster of Quarterbacks who will be competing, which you can find here, but the MVP award can only go to one person. In this article, I will be bringing you three names who I believe can walk away with the illustrious award. There is a ton of talent in this year’s class, including nine of the top ten ranked signal callers in the class. Let’s take a look at who I think could win MVP this June.
Julian Lewis (USC Commit)
We’re starting off with the number three-ranked QB in the country, and the player you saw at the top in the cover photo, Julian Lewis. Lewis, a former MaxPreps Freshman of the Year award winner, might be a bit undersized for the position at 6’1 185 lbs, but he more than makes up for it with how accurate he can be with the ball. He’s got plus upside as a rusher if the play breaks down, can push the ball down the field, and has a lightning-quick release. Lewis has a real shot at walking away with MVP in this camp.
Tavien St. Clair (Ohio State Commit)
It feels like chalk to pick the two highest-ranked QBs as potential winners, but Tavien St. Clair has as good a shot as any in this 2024 Elite 11 Finals camp to win the whole thing. He’s got franchise-level frame at 6’4, 225 lbs, quick release in his own right but has plus arm talent in terms of getting the ball down the field. St. Clair does a nice job throwing on the run as well, which will help him land a huge score in the competition.
George MacIntyre (Tennessee Commit)
My dark horse to win the 2024 Elite 11 Finals MVP is Tennessee commit George MacIntyre. He gets the dark horse tag based on his less-than-stellar performance at the Elite 11 Oxnard camp that was hosted back in April. MacIntyre struggled in the 7-on-7 drills, but that could be in part due to a lack of experience in a setting like that. He’s got the frame you want at 6’5, but on the smaller size in terms of weight at 190 lbs, but should bulk up. Love his arm talent, not the most mobile of the QBs in the class but has the potential to really explode.
Honorable mention to both Matt Zollers and Akili Smith Jr.
