Elite 11 is a prestigious annual competition for the nation's top high school quarterback prospects, founded in 1999 by Andy Bark. Rising seniors must submit highlight videos and compete in regional events to earn one of roughly 20 spots in the finals, which have been held at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon since 2013. The event features a flag football tournament and skills challenges, led by head coach and former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer, along with assistants like Jordan Palmer and George Whitfield Jr. Its alumni list reads like a who's who of future NFL stars, including Andrew Luck, Trevor Lawrence, Matthew Stafford, and Tua Tagovailoa, cementing its reputation as a key pipeline to college and pro football. Since 2016, the competition has been documented in the NFL Network's YouTube series, and in a notable 2019 twist, DJ Uiagalelei had to withdraw from the finals, allowing C. J. Stroud to step in and ultimately win MVP honors.
