It was a weekend to remember for Ryan Rakowski. A local signal caller from nearby Palos Verdes (Calif.) High, he entered the Elite 11 Finals looking to prove he belongs alongside the nation’s best. Rakowski had highlights on each of the three days. He won the rail shot challenge on day one, edging out Will Mencl and had a quality pro day session. Rakowski had a great 7-on-7 showing on Sunday, going 24 for 27 with seven touchdowns. He is a prolific, highly experienced quarterback on the travel 7-on-7 circuit, and his comfort in that setting was readily evident.
