Carrolton High School played host to the Atlanta Regional of the Elite 11 on Sunday afternoon. Quarterbacks from all over the southeast had the chance to showcase their abilities amongst some of their top peers.

Some young quarterbacks shined on Sunday. A household name earned an invite to the Elite 11 Finals.

On3 Co-MVPs Jadyn Davis (2024) and Air Noland (2024)

Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day rising junior signal-caller Jadyn Davis had a bit of a homecoming on Sunday. He is originally from the Atlanta area. He carried his Atlanta swagger around the field all day, with bright orange cleats gleaming through each drill.

It was also an opportunity for Davis to see some guys he grew up with.

“It’s always fun competing with those guys and making each other better,” Davis said. “We’re all friends off the field and it’s all business on the field. We’re still competing. I’m a Georgia kid, so it was great getting back out here with all my Georgia friends… We’ve all grown up. We were all going to camps together when we were 12-years-old and now we’re 15, 16, or 17-years old balling out in our respective states.”

Davis is already the No. 13 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus rankings for the class of 2024. He held serve to that ranking on Sunday.

He kept most of his throws within the catchable area throughout the day. Davis also moved around the drills like a camp veteran. His arm had a little more zip than almost everyone else at the camp.

The other MVP of Sunday was Fairburn (Ga.) Langston Hughes junior Air Noland. Noland’s quick left-handed release popped all day. He holds offers from Louisville, Wake Forest, Arkansas and Indiana among others.

He also moved without many missteps through drills. Noland even changed platforms a few times on the move. He appears to be confident in the player he is at the moment. He possesses solid touch and juice. Noland won the Underclassman Golden Gun Accuracy Challenge with 20 points.

2. Christopher Vizzina (2023)

Birmingham (Ala.) Briarwood Christian quarterback Christopher Vizzina has established himself as one of the top signal-callers in the class of 2023.

He is the No. 40 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus rankings for the class of 2023. He is the No. 20 overall prospect in the On300.

He looked like the top-tier prospect he has gained a reputation for being. Vizzina walked away with an Elite 11 Finals invite after the event.

“It’s huge, I was telling everybody in middle school that this is what I want to do,” Vizzina said. “I want to make it to this and go to LA. I want to be with the best quarterbacks in the country and compete with them for a whole week. The process that it took to get here is really surreal.”

3. Antwann Hill Jr. (2025)

Warner Robins (Ga.) Houston County rising sophomore Antwann Hill stood out physically walking from the parking lot. He stands 6-foot-3 or more.

Hill threw the ball far and hard whenever he wanted to. Despite his massive frame, he moved through drills well also.

Hill already holds offers from Georgia, Texas A&M, Arkansas and Georgia Tech.

4. E.J. Colson (2025)

Ellenwood (Ga.) Cedar Grove quarterback E.J. Colson threw the ball with some pop all day. He came home in 10th place in the Elite 11 ratings with a grade of 84.99.

He doesn’t have any known offers but he recently visit Alabama and Georgia.

5. Colter Ginn (2024)

Byron (Ga.) Peach County junior Colter Ginn was a new name that kept coming up on the lips of on-lookers on Sunday. He spent the day working in the same group as Davis, Noland and Hill.

Ginn looked to have some pop to his arm as well. He currently holds offers from UNC-Charlotte and Georgia Southern.

6. Jayden Bradford (2024)

Chapin (S.C.) IMG Academy quarterback Jayden Bradford moved well through drills. He looks to have added some more size since the 2021 season ended and has recently moved to IMG Academy for his junior year.

Bradford holds offers from South Carolina, North Carolina State and Vanderbilt among a few others. Bradford’s testing rankings slotted him in fourth place for the event. Bradford is the No. 49 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus for 2024. The On300 has him ranked No. 24.

7. Bryce Clavon (2024)

Hampton (Ga.) Dutchtown quarterback Bryce Clavon is committed to play baseball at Oklahoma. He showcased a strong fastball with a football on Sunday.

Clavon moved through drills well while also flashing a powerful arm capable of making all the throws.

8. Hayden Thompson (2023)

Suwanee (Ga.) Peachtree Ridge quarterback Hayden Thompson earned the tie for first in the Golden Gun Accuracy Challenge for the 2023 quarterbacks.

9. Braylen Ragland (2023)

Memphis (Tenn.) White Station senior quarterback Braylen Ragland was consistent all day. He has offers from Tennesse, Memphis and Jackson State among others.

Ragland is the No. 666 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus.

10. Joshua Jones (2023)
