LOS ANGELES — Twenty of the 2025 cycle’s top signal callers are in Southern California this week for the Elite 11 Finals, which continued into its second day on Wednesday night.
Day two of the event is broken down into a pair of sessions happening on each end of the field: an accuracy challenge and a pro-day style workout for each passer.
Every quarterback worked through the same 20-throw script, throwing to receivers on air and On3 has named top performers from the night.
We charted each session live, grading each throw as an on or off target. We do not penalize for wide receiver drops if the ball is well-thrown. Conversely, a receiver considerably slowing down to catch the ball is deemed as off target. It is not strictly a tally of completions.

On3 MVP: Deuce Knight – Notre Dame
Deuce Knight turned in a very impressive showing during the Pro Day on day two of the Elite 11 Finals. There was a ‘wow’ factor to many of his throws. The Notre Dame pledge was among the most accurate and on-target in the workout on Wednesday night, in addition to having pure arm talent that really popped. Knight’s arm strength was amplified in comparison to watching the quarterbacks before and after his session. The ball jumped out of his hand and was on the receivers in the blink of an eye. We were also impressed with the speed and depth of his drops. Knight was able to operate with better timing and tempo than most of his peers and was in sync from top to bottom.
Knight has made exceptional improvement in this type of neutral camp setting in a matter of months. He’s been putting in work with a private quarterback coach for the first time in his career and the results are obvious. We’ve felt his physical upside to be as high as any quarterback in the cycle for years. It was just a matter of everything coming into place and clicking. Given the string of impressive showings he’s put together this summer, it’s safe to say he’s certainly moving in the right direction. Knight’s ability to tap into his talent and grow as a player via his hard work should have Notre Dame fans excited based on what we’ve seen from him through two days at the Elite 11 Finals.
