LSU QB commit Colin Hurley earns Elite 11 invite
Jacksonville (Fla.) Trinity Christian Academy four-star quarterback and LSU commitment Colin Hurley is the latest addition to the Elite 11 Finals this summer in Los Angeles.
On Sunday, Hurley took home top honors – and an invitation to the Elite 11 Finals – after competing in Oxford (Miss.).
Hurley becomes the sixth 2024 quarterback prospect to earn an offer to the Elite 11 Finals in California.
Elite 11 Finals roster continues to take shape
Hurley will be joined at the Elite 11 Finals by some of the nation’s highest-ranked prospects in the 2024 class.
Beyond Hurley, Phoenix (Ariz.) Five-Star Plus+ Dylan Raiola, Carlsbad (Calif.) five-star Julian Sayin (Alabama commit), Saline (Mich.) four-star quarterback CJ Carr (Notre Dame commit), Savannah (Ga.) Benedictine Military School four-star Luke Kromenhoek (Florida State commit) and Winter Garden (Fla.) West Orange three-star Trever Jackson have also landed invitations.
The event, which will celebrate its 25th year in 2023, brings together the country’s elite signal-callers for three days of competition and training in Los Angeles.
12 of the past 13 quarterbacks to have won the Heisman Trophy attended the Elite 11 Finals or an Elite 11 Regional. 15 of the top 20 NFL passers in 2019 attended the Elite 11 Finals or an Elite 11 Regional.
Elite 11 alumni include Carson Palmer, Andrew Luck, Matthew Stafford, Tim Tebow, Trevor Lawrence, C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young and more. Last year’s Elite 11 Finals featured more than a dozen of the top 20 quarterbacks in the final On3 Industry Rankings, including three of the top five players at the position.
Hurley continues to shine this offseason
Hurley turned in another strong showing in Mississippi as he continues an impressive offseason.
In March, Hurley was named the lone quarterback on On3’s list of top performers at Overtime’s OT7 event in Phoenix.
“Four-star Jacksonville (Fla.) Trinity QB Colin Hurley was on-point leading the 24K offense,” Spiegelman said. “The LSU commit from Florida had a noticeable chemistry with On3 MVP Cam Coleman after the two lit up the Big Easy last weekend. Hurley was in a rhythm and accurate, and sound throughout the day. He also shined against the blitz with designed throws on the move that turned into splash plays.”
Hurley is the No. 252 overall prospect in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 14 quarterback and the No. 38 junior recruit in state of Florida.
This fall, he committed to the Tigers over offers from more than 20 other programs. Hurley also opted to reclassify up a year from the 2025 class to 2024, meaning he will sign with LSU in December
Hurley is one of the leaders of LSU’s 11th-ranked recruiting class, joining four-stars Trey’Dez Green, Dashawn McBryde, Maurice Williams, Kolaj Cobbins and more.
