Quinn Ewers is among the biggest names competing in the 2021 Elite 11 Finals this summer.

Ohio State football commit Quinn Ewers and 19 other top high school prospects will compete in the 2021 Elite 11 Finals.

For over a decade now, the best rising high school senior quarterbacks in the country compete in this high-profile contest. Since its creation, the 11 best at this annual competition is a who’s who among college football stars and future NFL quarterbacks. Ewers might be the favorite to win it, but he will have stiff competition from other notable Division I commits. Who will challenge him?

Here is the 2021 Elite 11 Finals roster of 20 prized recruits competing for the ultimate prize.

2011 Elite 11 Finals roster

Other big names besides Ewers in this competition include LSU commit Walker Howard, Clemson commit Cade Klubnik, Alabama commit Ty Simpson and Texas A&M commit Conner Weigman. Ewers is the No. 1 quarterback prospect in this class. Howard, Simpson and Weigman are quarterback recruits No. 2 to No. 4, respectively. Klubnik ranks as the No. 6 best quarterback.

Ultimately, winning Elite 11 does not guarantee a rising collegiate signal-caller success at the next level. However, you can look at the Elite 11 at any cross-section in the last decade-plus and find several notable college stars, as well as a handful of guys who lead NFL teams on fall Sundays. This competition is a great example of iron sharpening iron and we cannot wait to see this year’s.

Ewers may be the favorite to win it this summer, but 19 other guys are striving to beat him.
