4-star QB Colton Nussmeier invited to Elite 11 Finals

Four-star Denton (Texas) quarterback Colton Nussmeier is bound for the Elite 11 Finals in Los Angeles next month.

Nussmeier received his invitation on Wednesday, along with Ole Miss commit Keegan Croucher, giving the event 14 of its 20 expected participants.

There are few higher honors for high school quarterbacks than being invited to the event, which will celebrate its 27th year in 2026. It brings together 20 of the country’s elite signal-callers for three days of competition and training in Los Angeles at the end of May.

Elite 11 alumni include college and NFL stars like Carson Palmer, Andrew Luck, Matthew Stafford, Tim Tebow, and more recently Trevor Lawrence, C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young. The list also includes his older brother, Garrett Nussmeier, who participated in the event in 2020 before signing with LSU.

Last year’s Elite 11 Finals featured 16 of the top 25 quarterbacks in the Rivals Industry Ranking, including five of the top six players at the position.

Nussmeier himself checks in as the No. 194 overall prospect and No. 16 passer in the class, as well as the No. 30 overall player in the Lone Star State.
