BWI Live: How Penn State's Commits and Targets Performed at the Elite 11 Regional

The final Elite 11 regional took place in State College for the second year last Sunday. On today’s BWI Live Show, we’re discussing the top Penn State quarterback prospects who attended the event. Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube to hear how those players performed and how they stacked up to the competition. 

Penn State quarterback targets at Elite 11 

For the first time in two years, a Penn State quarterback commit didn’t make the Elite 11 finals. After Jaxon Smolik and Ethan Grunkmeyer secured spots in the elite quarterback camp the previous two cycles, three-star commit Bekkem Kritza didn’t make the cut. 

But how did he stack up with the group and how close was he to making the list? We were at the event on Sunday and give you a recap of what he did and how he performed compared to the top group of elite quarterback commits. 

Also, Penn State’s top target did make the finals. Spring-Ford quarterback Matt Zollers was one of two passers, including one-time target Ryan Montgomery, who secured the final two spots in the competition after the camp. We’ll discuss what separated them from Kritza and how the upside of Penn State’s committed player compares to the more polished prospects at the camp. 

Redshirt freshman report

Finally, we’ll end the show discussing the notable Penn State redshirt freshmen heading into the 2024 season. While the top young players who contribute and burn their redshirts get all the attention, what about the other players heading into their second year with the organization? 

We’ll discuss the progress of players like Anthony Donkoh, Andrew Rappleyea, and more!
