Penn State Class of 2023 QB Marcus Stokes heading to Elite 11 Finals

Penn State is sending another quarterback commit to the Elite 11 Finals.

One of Penn State’s top recruits in the Class of 2023 is heading to one of the premier high school football scouting events. [autotag]Marcus Stokes[/autotag], fresh off an impressive showing at Penn State’s White Out Camp, has received an invitation to participate in the Elite 11 Finals later this summer.

Stokes, a four-star quarterback according to 247Sports, committed to Penn State in April. The Florida native was recruited heavily by offensive coordinator [autotag]Mike Yurcich[/autotag], who serves as Penn State’s quarterbacks coach as well. Stokes committed to Penn State a day after making an unofficial visit to the campus, and he has since made another trip to participate in Penn State’s recent camp.

The Elite 11 Finals are scheduled for June 28-June 30 in Los Angeles, California. Just being in attendance for this prestigious and highly competitive instructional camp is an honor itself, but the collection of some of the top talent in the country has proven to be a step along the way to some incredibly successful college careers. In all, 12 of the past 13 Heisman Trophy winners have attended the ELite 11 Finals or an Elite 11 Regional, and 15 of the NFL’s top 20 passers in 2019 attended the Elite 11 Finals or a regional final.

So, simply put, Stokes is already in some great company.

Stokes reacted to the invite on his Twitter account.

This is the second year in a row a Penn State quarterback commit has accepted an invite to the Elite 11 Finals. A year ago it was [autotag]Drew Allar[/autotag] who was looking to make a big impression at the Elite 11 Finals. Other past Elite 11 participants with Penn State ties include [autotag]Sean Clifford[/autotag], [autotag]Christian Hackenberg[/autotag], [autotag]Rob Bolden[/autotag], [autotag]Pat Devlin[/autotag], [autotag]Anthony Morelli[/autotag], and [autotag]Zac Wasserman[/autotag].
