On Monday, 20 of the top- high school quarterbacks in the nation arrived in Nashville for the first day of competition at the 22nd annual Elite 11 finals.
Among those competing is Georgia football commit Brock Vandagriff, a 5-star quarterback from Bogart, Georgia. Vandagriff is rated as the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in the 2021 recruiting class.
247Sports spoke with Elite 11 head coach Trent Dilfer about his thoughts after day one and it seems Vandagriff is matching the high expectations so far.
“Vandagriff is awesome,” Dilfer stated. “He’s another one of those kids that makes everything look easy. His tape matches what you see in person. It’s impossible not to put the other stuff out of your mind when you’re watching him, he plays six weeks after he shatters his ankle with screws in his ankle and scores six touchdowns. He’s not a camp guy, you can see he’s a football player at a camp. He’s consistent.”
Vandagriff isn’t the only Georgia quarterback in Nashville. Wake Forest transfer quarterback Jamie Newman is also representing the Bulldogs as a counselor.
Notable former UGA quarterbacks that have participated in the competition are D.J. Shockley, Matthew Stafford, Aaron Murray, Jacob Eason and Jake Fromm – not a bad list to follow if you’re Vandagriff.
