I decided when I was 8 years old. I made a promise to God and myself I wouldn’t compete in sports on Sunday while I was in control and had the ability to do so. For me, that is while I’m in high school.
The annual Elite 11 camp put on by Nike is the premier competition for 24 of the best high school quarterbacks in the country, with notable names such as Matthew Stafford, Andrew Luck, Jameis Winston, Deshaun Watson and Josh Rosen among its alumni.
Over the course of the three-day competition in which players participate in a number of drills and receive classroom instruction from some of football’s best minds, the goal is to go from merely making the camp to being named one of 12 finalists who will compete at The Opening Finals in Oregon, which brings together the best players in the nation from all positions.
