· Yahoo Sports
The 2026 Elite 11 regional circuit is well underway and the coveted quarterback event made its fifth stop on Saturday. Multiple top passers made their way to New Orleans to compete for an invitation to the Elite 11 Finals.
There could only be one invite doled out in The Big Easy and that went to Cotton Valley (La.) Evangel Christian Academy four-star Peyton Houston after a big-time performance at the New Orleans Saints training facility.

He becomes the fifth QB to land an invite to the event, joining the following: four-star Brady Edmunds (Ohio State commit), three-star Braylen Warren (Missouri), four-star Kharim Hughley (Clemson) and four-star Trae Taylor (Nebraska).
There are few higher honors for high school quarterbacks than being invited to the event, which will celebrate its 27th year in 2026. It brings together 20 of the country’s elite signal-callers for three days of competition and training in Los Angeles during the month of June.
Elite 11 alumni include college and NFL stars like Carson Palmer, Andrew Luck, Matthew Stafford, Tim Tebow, and more recently Trevor Lawrence, C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young. Last year’s Elite 11 Finals featured 16 of the top 25 quarterbacks in the Rivals Industry Rankings, including five of the top six players at the position.
