Ohio State has another blue-chip commit that will be competing in a select competition with his peers. Kyle McCord, a five-star prospect out of St. Joseph’s High School in Philadelphia, PA, announced his participation in the exclusive Elite 11 quarterback competition Finals on Twitter Friday.
According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, McCord is ranked as the No. 3 Pro-style passer and 24th overall prospect in the class of 2021. His ratings have been on the rise ever since he committed to Ohio State back on April 30 of 2019. He was the second recruit to the class, following only five-star defensive end Jack Sawyer.
Here’s the announcement from McCord.
Childhood dream come true. Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way.

It’s been quite the run for Buckeye quarterback commits getting invited to the Elite 11 Finals. Not only did current Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields compete, but so too did Dwayne Haskins and Tate Martell. In addition to that, incoming freshmen from the 2020 class, C.J. Stroud and Jack Miller were also a part of all the fun.
