Each year, the best of the best high school quarterback recruits gather together for the Elite 11 Finals. Current Ohio State quarterbacks Air Noland and Julian Sayin participated in the competition last year and another Buckeye is participating this year.
Tavien St. Clair is already leading the way in the rankings after just a day of the Elite 11 Finals and he did so by having an impressive Day 1 up against the best at his position around the country.
“Tavien St. Clair looked like the most accurate quarterback on hand throughout Day One at the Elite 11 Finals. The Buckeye pledge lived up to our expectations in this on-air environment, impressing with his smooth, replicable throwing motion. St. Clair dotted his throws for much of the evening. We noticed that receivers did not have to break stride, with many of the throws being right on their face. At 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, St. Clair is also one of the more physically imposing signal callers on hand. In a workout that can highlight deficiencies in a quarterback’s game as a passer, there wasn’t much to critique with the Ohio native.” – Charles Power, On3
St. Clair has shot up the rankings to now be the No. 2 player in the country, according to 247 Sports. At one point, the Buckeyes were deciding between St. Clair and fellow Elite 11 competitor Ryan Montgomery for who they wanted to be their quarterback in the class of 2025. Since then, Montgomery has committed to Georgia.
This recruiting cycle, St. Clair has been a huge recruiter for the Buckeyes by helping to bring in more talent. St. Clair has the opportunity to prove that he is the No. 1 player in this class and the Elite 11 could be where that happens.
If St. Clair can hold strong the next couple of days, he will join Sayin, Justin Fields, and C.J. Stroud as Ohio State quarterbacks to win the Elite 11. At 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, St. Clair is a field general with the ball who has immense arm talent and the power to get the ball anywhere on the field that he needs to.
While Ohio has already known how talented St. Clair is given that he plays in Bellefontaine, the rest of the country will soon be awaken if they aren’t already.
