The Elite 11 Quarterback Camps offer the top quarterback instruction and competition for high schoolers. After all, one in every three Elite 11 finalists are eventually drafted by the NFL. And Friday, the tour makes its stop in San Francisco at the 49ers training facility. More than 60 top QB recruits are expected. Here are a few names on which SB Nation's recruiting team will be keeping a close eye.
Keller Chryst, Palo Alto (Calif.) High School: Chryst is a star in the making. He is the consensus top QB nationally. At 6'3 and 215 pounds he has good size, and his big arm and advanced feel for the game earn him a five-star rating. Chryst holds offers from most major schools, and is strongly considering Stanford, Pitt, USC and Alabama. Let the Andrew Luck comparisons begin, particularly if he picks Stanford.
Jalen Greene, Gardena (Calif.) Junipero Serra High School: The 6'3, 195-pound Greene is a consensus three-star recruit with excellent mobility. He is committed to Boise State.
