The future of college football is heading to Los Angeles this summer, and the stage is set for a star-making showcase. The Elite 11 Finals, the premier event for high school quarterback talent, is gearing up for its 27th edition in 2026, and the roster of 2027 class phenoms is taking shape.
For any young quarterback, an invitation to this exclusive three-day competition is a career-defining honor. It’s more than just drills; it’s a proving ground where the next generation of field generals is forged under intense pressure and elite coaching. The event culminates by naming an MVP and ten other finalists, cementing their status as the nation's best.
The alumni list reads like a who's who of modern football royalty, from legends like Carson Palmer and Andrew Luck to current superstars like Trevor Lawrence and C.J. Stroud. Last year’s event alone featured 15 of the top 20 ranked quarterbacks, proving its unmatched reputation for identifying elite talent.
After a nationwide tour of regional camps, ten standout passers have already secured their golden tickets to L.A., with more invites to come. These are the young athletes poised to follow in the footsteps of the greats.
Here is the confirmed roster of quarterbacks headed to the 2026 Elite 11 Finals as of now:
Leading the pack is 5-star Elijah Haven from the Dunham School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Currently uncommitted, he holds the coveted top QB ranking nationally.
He is joined by a talented group of 4-star commits, including Israel Abrams (Miami), Trae Taylor (Nebraska), and Peyton Houston (LSU). Uncommitted standout Peter Bourque and Florida commit Davin Davidson will also be in the mix, alongside Brady Edmunds (Ohio State) and Kharim Hughley.
This gathering represents the first chapter for these athletes, who will soon be leading major college programs and, one day, potentially suiting up on Sundays. For fans, it’s a thrilling first look at the next wave of football icons.
