A hot name emerging from the spring camp season is Texas Longhorns quarterback commit Ty Knutson. There are several prestigious camps high school prospects can attend that boosts their visibility. Rivals has run the Five-Star Challenge for years. There are few higher honors for a high school quarterback than being invited to the Elite 11 Finals. Knutson has nabbed one of the last invitations.
The Spring Branch (Texas) Smithson Valley three-star committed to the Longhorns back in February. Clearly, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian believes Knutson is better than his three-star ranking. It is a sure bet he'll be a four-star the next time the big recruiting services like Rivals and 247 re-rank the prospects, which happens after camp season is over.
The Elite 11 QB camp, which is its 27th year, invites 20 of the best quarterbacks in the nation for three days of competition and training in Los Angeles during the month of June. Last year, Longhorns freshman QB Dia Bell was named the MVP of the event. Of the eleven Texas quarterbacks to be invited to the event, Bell was the first to win the overall MVP.
Knutson will be the 12th Texas pledge to get an invite. He and Michigan State commit Kamden Lopati were both invited on Thursday and are the 19th and 20th invitees, filling out the roster. The UT pledge earned his spot in the finals by excelling at the Elite 11 Regional in Dallas in March.
Knutson ranks No. 496 overall, and No. 33 QB in the country, according to Rivals. He picked to Texas over offers from Houston, Oklahoma State, South Carolina, TCU and Texas A&M. Standing 6-foot-3 and 202 pounds, Knutson is the first quarterback commit for the Longhorns in the 2027 class.
