Ole Miss quarterback target Bryson Beaver, a four-star prospect on On3, earned the No. 3 spot on On3’s Top Performer list from the Elite 11 Finals. This week, the four-star prospect flashed his arm strength as he compiled a strong week in Los Angeles and called it “an honor” to land in third.

The Rebels are battling Oregon and Alabama for the former Boise State commit. He was in Oxford last weekend and now heads to Eugene for his visit with the Ducks. He’d like a decision before his senior year and the Ducks currently lead the On3 RPM.

On3 national director of scouting and rankings Charles Power saw a lot to like as he slotted Beaver behind Texas commit Dia Bell and Texas A&M commit Helaman Casuga.

“Murrieta (Calif.) Vista Murrieta four-star quarterback Bryson Beaver cemented his status as the fastest-rising quarterback in the 2026 cycle,” Power wrote. “The 6-foot-3, 195-pounder was easily one of the top few arm talents at the Elite 11 Finals. He flashed arguably the strongest arm of all finalists during drill work in Day 1 and made a handful of the more impressive throws we saw in his pro day workout on Day 2. Beaver capped things off with perhaps the best 7-on-7 sessions on Thursday, hitting 19 of 26 passes for five touchdowns, in impressive fashion.

“Beaver has an explosive, pliable arm and showcased a deep bag of throws throughout the week. The one-time Boise State commit has seen his recruitment take off in recent weeks and firmly planted his name on the national radar with his showing at the Elite 11 Finals.”

On3 ranks him as the No. 19 overall quarterback prospect in the country. Beaver is coming off a terrific junior season where he completed over 66 percent of his passes for 3,214 yards and 33 touchdowns to just six interceptions. He added 411 yards rushing and six more scores.

Power noted that because of his arm talent shown off at the event, he earned the “Strongest Arm” nod on On3’s list of superlatives.

“In terms of pure arm talent, Bryson Beaver took a backseat to nobody at the Elite 11 Finals,” Power wrote. “The 6-foot-3, 195-pounder showed an explosive, powerful arm over the three days in Los Angeles. Beaver made an array of impressive downfield throws throughout the week, particularly on the final two days. He had several highlight throws during his pro day session on Day 2. The Southern California native backed that up with arguably the most impressive 7-on-7 session on Day 3, driving the football into tight windows to every level of the field.

“Beaver touts a loose, pliable arm that allows him to manipulate arm slots and deliver from off-platform as effectively as any Elite 11 Finalist. Seeing the one-time Boise State commit throw alongside 19 other touted peers only confirmed the belief that he’s one of the top arm talents in the 2026 cycle.”
