The Elite 11 wrapped up its regional tour on Sunday with its eighth and final stop of the year. Close to 100 quarterbacks were on hand to throw in hopes of punching a ticket to next month’s finals. The group included multiple signals ranked inside the Top247 along with a handful more committed to play for Big Ten, ACC and Big 12 programs.
Joining the quarterbacks in the shadows of Penn State’s campus was a small collection of skill players and a fee linemen as event organizers invited prospects from all around the region to go through testing and positional drills during the All-22 portion of the camp. We have top performers and more evaluation notes below.
It took a while for any of the quarterbacks in the featured group to really separate themselves from the rest of the pack, but in the final few periods it was Montgomery who really found his groove.
A full-field reader at Findlay (Ohio) High, we knew coming into the camp that Montgomery was one of the better processors in the 2025 cycle, but we came away impressed with his overall arm talent. The nation’s No. 12-ranked signal caller was able to accurately hit his marks at all three levels and put plenty of pace on his shots out to the numbers. Montgomery, who is dealing with a Grade 2 turf toe injury, is also probably a better athlete than he gets credit for and was a coordinated mover when asked to roll out and change directions.
Montgomery was presented with an invite to the Elite 11 Finals when things wrapped up. He might not be as physically gifted as some of the other quarterbacks in the class, but he appears to have a higher floor and is the type of quarterback that could have plenty of success directing a UGA offense that wants to own the line of scrimmage.
