Three Texas high school quarterbacks will compete at this year’s prestigious showcase, held June 17-19 in Manhattan Beach, California—further proof that the Lone Star State remains the nation’s premier quarterback factory.
Three of the last four Elite 11 MVPs have come from Texas: Denton Guyer’s Jackson Arnold, Austin Westlake’s Cade Klubnik and Duncanville’s Keelon Russell.
Will one of this year’s finalists make it four out of five? Bet against Texas at your own risk.
