MURFREESBORO, Tenn.– The 2020 Elite 11 Finals is formally in the books. Uncommitted star Caleb Williams was named the occasions MVP.
The choice, based upon what coach Trent Dilfer confessed prior to making the news public, wasnt almost the 3 days of action.
” 75 percent weighted goes into your junior year of film, the production and likewise your traits,” he stated. “Were trying to predict what you may be. 25 percent originates from what occurred over the last three days.”
SI All-Americans final rankings are specifically identified by the three days of competitors and even because metric, Williams came on top. We ranked all 20 potential customers each day of the competition on a really clear scale..
Day 1, organized like an Elite 11 regional camp, was a pure evaluation ranking. Precision, poise, footwork, arm strength, release, the standard information points onlookers dig into..
[Regional Camp Rankings] Day 2, the professional day script exercise, was more numerical. Each competitor had about 20 throws and SIAA graded each toss on a scale of 1-3, with 3 being considered a cash shot without much dispute on timing, ball positioning and accuracy. Passes somewhat off, yet on target, were graded as a 2 while those off target were tabbed a 1.
[Pro Day Rankings] Day 3, set up as a timed accuracy gauntlet with eight stations, was on a similar scale from how we charted Day 2. The grading scale stayed in location (3 was through the target, 2 touched with target, 1 was off target) in addition to thinking about effectiveness with the potential customers who completed the course the fastest..
[Accuracy Gauntlet Rankings] After ranking all 20 over the 3 days, we calculated the typical overall ranking to create a composite ranking compared to the others. The more tangible approach evenly weighed every day of competition..
1. Caleb Williams – Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga.
Composite Score: 2.66.
Day 1 Rank: 1.
Day 2 Rank: 3.
Day 3 Rank: 4.
Williams flashed about everything an evaluator could have requested for and the data in fact supports the staffs ranking of him as the MVP. His Day 1 performance was the most dominant daily win compared to the Day 2 and Day 3 winners and he wasnt ever sitting beyond the top 5. The arm skill, footwork and pure play-making torque has to do with as excellent as it gets at the position. Toss in the competitive drive and couple of would wager versus the D.C. star..
2. J.J. McCarthy – Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy.
Composite Score: 4.0.
Day 1 Rank: 4.
Day 2 Rank: 2.
Day 3 Rank: 6.
Entering the camp, McCarthy was one of the few quarterbacks who might make all of the tosses on tape. He showed that in a camp setting every day at Elite 11, looking comfy throwing to all three levels of the field and never finishing listed below 6th place out of 20 in Sports Illustrated All-Americans day-to-day rankings. McCarthy finished fifth in Elite 11s precision gauntlet scores and 6th by our scores in the same drill, showing fantastic precision with 16 on-target tosses on 22 efforts. He carried swagger throughout the week and never ever seemed to lose his action.
3. Miller Moss – Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei.
Composite Score: 4.66.
Day 1 Rank: 3.
Day 2 Rank: 8.
Day 3 Rank: 3.
Moss wasnt the flashiest passer through three days but consistency was as soon as again his calling card. Throw 100 looked comparable to toss No. 1 for the USC commitment, even in this competitive setting.
4. Brock Vandagriff – Bogart (Ga.) Prince Avenue Christian.
Composite Score: 5.33.
Day 1 Rank: 5.
Day 2 Rank: 10.
Day 3 Rank: 3.
Vandagriff finished third amongst campers in the Rail Shot competitors on Monday, had a fairly decent pro day on day two, ending up in the middle of the pack on SIAAs scoring, then won day 3 of the competition. He won the precision gauntlet with a time of 1:43, there wasnt another QB under two minutes. Vandagriff is referred to as a possibility with a high flooring and his consistency as a daily top 10 performer, big shot maker and high-velocity game through 3 hard workouts verifies the point. His ball never ever lost life, even in the gauntlet to wrap up the event..
5 (tie). Ty Thompson – Gilbert (Az.) Mesquite.
Composite Score: 6.66.
Day 1 Rank: 2.
Day 2 Rank: 4.
Day 3 Rank: 14.
Thompson is the passer who most likely assisted his instant stock the most all week long. From the remarkable frame to a smooth release, he was an MVP prospect with considerable wow tosses to his name until Day 3 slowed how high he could climb. Gauntlet issues aside, the just knock with the Oregon Duck dedication features his footwork. He might move systematically sometimes but as the greatest passer in attendance, it wasnt a big surprise..
5 (tie). Carlos Del Rio – Loganville (Ga.) Grayson.
Composite Score: 6.66.
Day 1 Rank: 10.
Day 2 Rank: 1.
Day 3 Rank: 9.
His finest proving came throughout the professional day workout on Day 2, where Del Rio tossed a camp-leading 12 “cash” tosses based on Sports Illustrated All-Americans grading scale. He followed with the second-best time in the accuracy gauntlet according to Elite 11, with a solid accuracy grade from SIAA coming in 9th place.
7. Kyle McCord – Philadelphia (Pa.) St. Josephs.
Composite Score: 7.33.
Day 1 Rank: 13.
Day 2 Rank: 4.
Day 3 Rank: 5.
McCord was a star throughout the professional day workout, with elite ball placement and second/third level precision. He was just as constant on Wednesday coming off of his big win, according to the Elite 11 staff, with such hot streaks coming at the most challenging times. There wasnt a clear drop off in speed through 3 days of action, something that cant be said of others on the list.
8. Kyron Drones – Pearland (Texas) Shadow Creek.
Composite Score: 10.66.
Day 1 Rank: 15.
Day 2 Rank: 15.
Day 3 Rank: 2.
Drones is a big, outstanding physical specimen who had big minutes through the competition. Conserving his finest for last from an overall exercise perspective, during the hardest ask from the coaches, revealed where he is at when it comes to capturing on fast and execution. Couple of drove the football more regularly than the future Baylor Bear, whose finest balls were on par with the higher-ranked people on this list..
9 (tie). Garrett Nussmeier – Flower Mound (Texas) Marcus.
Composite Score: 11.0.
Day 1 Rank: 8.
Day 2 Rank: 6.
Day 3 Rank: 19.
Nussmeier and Moss are rather similar prospects, but I d give Nussmeier the overall edge in terms of arm strength, though Moss has leading ball placement. As I told him and his household following the occasion, I was more impressed with the method in which he brought himself throughout the week.
9 (tie). Tyler Macon – East St. Louis (Ill.).
Composite Score: 11.0.
Day 1 Rank: 12.
Day 2 Rank: 13.
Day 3 Rank: 8.
Macon showed reasonably constant through the majority of the competitors aside from using down in his lower half during the accuracy onslaught. His three-quarter release is among the much better motions in the field and his arch in pushing the ball down the field didnt injure his accuracy or timing. The Missouri dedication keeps a wide base when he sets his feet and it appears to restrict errant tosses..
11 (tie). Maddox Kopp – Houston (Texas) St. Thomas.
Composite Score: 11.33.
Day 1 Rank: 7.
Day 2 Rank: 12.
Day 3 Rank: 15.
Short-to-intermediate middle of the field precision was struck or miss out on however when Kopp was on, he was on. Movement and throwing on the run arent his strong-suits, but with more development as hes just recently began taking football seriously over basketball, Kopp has the arm talent to become a home name.
11 (tie). Luke Altmyer – Starkville (Miss.).
Composite Score: 11.33.
Day 1 Rank: 6.
Day 2 Rank: 11.
Day 3 Rank: 17.
Altmyers easy release was on display screen all week long and it created some oohs and ahhs down the field, especially during the professional day workout. His motion pushes the ball behind him more than many in the field, but the release speed offsets the timing. The Florida State dedication seemed like a leading 10 lock before a rough precision onslaught on Day 3.
13 (tie). Drake Maye – Charlotte (N.C.) Myers Park.
Composite Score: 12.33.
Day 1 Rank: 16.
Day 2 Rank: 9.
Day 3 Rank: 12.
Maye began off slow at the local camp and through the stations however captured on in a big way Day 2 and held his own on Day 3. His big arm was regularly on screen, even when the constant precision was not, and his speed on the last days work may have been the very best of the lot outside of Vandagriff. The UNC dedication has all the tools to continue to climb any ranking..
13 (tie). Behren Morton – Eastland (Texas).
Composite Score: 12.33.
Day 1 Rank: 11.
Day 2 Rank: 16.
Day 3 Rank: 10.
Mortons professional day left a bit to be preferred, he had a couple of difficult misses, however I do not think I saw a single ball wobble all week. It was tight, it was smooth, and it was fluid on every single throw. Which, when youre tossing upwards of 200 footballs in a three-day period, is exceptionally hard to do. Then you include into the equation that hes a solid professional athlete and can move very well, youve got a Top-10 entertainer at the event, in my opinion. Mortons final workout was his finest and the high spin rate carried all the way through the end. As Quincy Avery stated of one of his samples, “the ball has juice.”.
15. Grayson James – Plano (Texas) John Paul II.
Composite Score: 13.66.
Day 1 Rank: 14.
Day 2 Rank: 20.
Day 3 Rank: 7.
Grayson James was up and down throughout the very first two workouts however truly took a step forward on the final day of action in the accuracy onslaught. His size is excellent and the fluidity of his release and footwork on the frame is, too. Couple of looked more comfortable making plays on the relocation, even down the field, than the uncommitted prospect..
16. Kaidon Salter – Cedar Hill (Texas).
Composite Score: 14.00.
Day 1 Rank: 19.
Day 2 Rank: 7.
Day 3 Rank: 16.
Salter had a hard time to discover consistency through the majority of the exercises but truly found a home during the pro day. He was on time and impressive outside the numbers and while on the relocation. The Tennessee-bound Texan worked finest relocating to his right and struck one of the top deep balls of the week during the professional day while on a dead sprint..
17. Christian Veilleux – Potomac (Md.) The Bullis School.
Composite Score: 14.33.
Day 1 Rank: 9.
Day 2 Rank: 14.
Day 3 Rank: 20.
He was precise throughout the local camp workout with second and very first level consistency more powerful than most of the group. The pro day exercise looked unpleasant at times for the Penn State dedication, who appeared to have actually rushed a number of throws in the regulated setting.
18. Dematrius Davis – Houston (Texas) North Shore.
Composite Score: 15.66.
Day 1 Rank: 18.
Day 2 Rank: 18.
Day 3 Rank: 11.
Davis has a quick trigger and moves with more ease than any rival in the field, however the accuracy was sporadic at finest. His finest workout came in the precision gauntlet but it wasnt enough to secure his would-be preliminary top 10 finish on a provided day. The Auburn commitment was unable to showcase one of his leading characteristics, decision-making, with the cancellation of the 7-on-7 part of the occasion..
19 (tie). Tyler Buchner – La Jolla (Calif.) Helix.
Composite Score: 17.33.
Day 1 Rank: 17.
Day 2 Rank: 17.
Day 3 Rank: 18.
Buchner had one of the top tosses of the entire event during the professional day exercise, a 7-cut while on the run dropped perfectly on the front pylon. Unfortunately for the Notre Dame dedication, head-turners like that were more common with other arms at the event. His arm angle looks significantly lower than it was in 2019 and even earlier this year and it appears to have actually affected his drive on the ball and consistent accuracy..
19 (tie). Jay Allen – Fort Pierce (Fla.) John Carroll.
Composite Score: 17.33.
Day 1 Rank: 20.
Day 2 Rank: 19.
Day 3 Rank: 13.
Allen got much better every day, in each setting and flirted with a hot streak on Day 3 with excellent pace and capability to strike targets on the move. His spiral was far less impressive from a consistency perspective and his third-level video game is definitely still establishing..

Day 2, the pro day script workout, was more numerical. His Day 1 performance was the most dominant everyday win compared to the Day 2 and Day 3 winners and he wasnt ever sitting outside of the leading five. Vandagriff ended up third among campers in the Rail Shot competitors on Monday, had a fairly decent pro day on day 2, finishing in the middle of the pack on SIAAs scoring, then strolled away with day three of the competitors. His finest showing came throughout the professional day exercise on Day 2, where Del Rio threw a camp-leading 12 “cash” tosses based on Sports Illustrated All-Americans grading scale. Maye started off sluggish at the local camp and through the stations but captured on in a huge way Day 2 and held his own on Day 3.
