Currently in Manhattan Beach, California, the best quarterback recruits from across the country are putting their skills on display. Among the participants, the SEC Conference has four participants.
Texas A&M commit Conner Weigman, Alabama commit Ty Simpson, Florida commit Nick Evers, and of course, LSU commit Walker Howard.
Howard is currently the No. 2 pro-style quarterback in the 2022 recruiting class just behind Ohio State commit, Quinn Ewers. Ewers is another top passer that is in attendance for the Elite 11 Finals.
According to 247Sports, Howard has been up and down in the three-day event with one day left:
Ranking: No. 8
Despite an up-and-down performance in the 7v7 portion of the event that probably left a bad taste in his mouth, the rhythm (or lack therof) with his receivers may have played a role in that. What didn’t affect him was the quickness and efficiency needed in the target challenge, with the LSU verbal finishing third in the competition.
With just one day left in the event, Howard seems to be in good standing at this point. Being one of the best 11 quarterbacks in the country is a feat in itself. Howard looks to lead the LSU Tigers’ 2022 recruiting class and hopefully bring back the championship-level aspirations to the football team. After a down season in 2020, the fans that pack Tigers Stadium are ready for more roaring Saturdays this season.
