Notre Dame quarterback commit Tyler Buchner performed well, but not quite well enough to garner the MVP honor at the Elite 11 camp. That award went to uncommitted Washington DC quarterback Caleb Williams, who is ranked by the 247Sports composite as the best quarterback in the country.

What is weird about this award was how the MVP was chosen, as it consisted of half of the player’s junior film and the other half was the performance during the last 3 days. I find this extremely odd, as a camp MVP should be awarded to the top performer, not what they did they the year prior.

Since this was the first big camp of the summer, there surely will be a change in the quarterback rankings. We will be on the lookout for where Buchner gets moved to, hopefully he will continue his rise in the rankings.
