Elite 11 Finals on tap for Rutgers 2022 QB commit Gavin Wimsatt
Wednesday begins the Elite 11 Finals out Manhattan Beach, Ca. at Mira Costa High School, and Rutgers 2022 quarterback commit Gavin Wimsatt is taking part.
Wimsatt earned an invite to the Finals back in May after performing well at the Elite 11 Regionals in Nashville, TN.

The prestigious quarterback event has featured numerous starting NFL signal caller of the years as well as Heisman Trophy winners. Over the years, the competition has seen 12 of the last 13 Heisman Trophy winners that were quarterbacks come through either the Elite 11 Finals or Regionals.
Wimsatt is the Scarlet Knights' highest-rated quarterback recruit all-time. The Owensboro, KY. native is ranked No. 1 in the state, No. 3 as a dual-threat style thrower, and No. 65 nationally at all positions.
“Gavin has unlimited potential," Owensboro High head coach Jay Fallin told TKR. "He’s listed as a dual-threat quarterback and the average fan will say he runs the ball primarily – that’s not the case. He has all of the skills of a pocket passer. He can stay in the pocket, obey the rush, keep his eyes downfield, make his progressions one through five and he knows what the defense is giving him. If it breaks down, then he can take off and run. He has a rocket arm, he can flick it 50-60 yards or crow hop and throw it over 70. He has the touch to make short passes too. He’s the total package.”
