The majority of the Elite 11 Finals roster is set with 16 quarterbacks from across the country earning invitations to the prestigious annual event. This year's Elite 11 Finals will take place June 30 through July 3 in Los Angeles.

The final regional event on this year's Elite 11 tour occurred Sunday in the Los Angeles metro area. St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, Calif., hosted the Los Angeles regional, which resulted in the two latest invitations. A handful of spots remain to be filled in the coming week as the Elite 11 Finals loom at the end of the month/beginning of July.

At this point in the process, the 16 quarterbacks who have earned invitations to the Elite 11 Finals all rank in the top 55 QB prospects in the country on either the industry-generated 247Sports Composite or 247Sports rankings. More specifically, the top four quarterbacks on the 247Sports Composite, and six of the top seven, have solidified spots in the Elite 11 Finals. Additionally, nine of the top 12 on the Composite will head to Southern California in a few weeks to compete in the high-profile quarterback showcase.

On Walker Howard's Elite 11 Houston performance, which earned his invitation to the finals:

"Sunday presented less-than-ideal conditions and Howard still impressed. He threw with terrific touch when required -- not easy in that weather -- and his footwork was perhaps the most consistent of any of the quarterbacks, something that was not surprising. He entered Sunday's event considered as one of the more polished quarterbacks in the country for the 2022 class. That's exactly what he showed.

Like Weigman, Howard tested quite well, finishing fifth overall with a score of 88.68. He seems like a particularly high-floor quarterback whose consistency is evident in his outstanding interception rate from 2020: one in every 63.2 throws with a 42-5 TD-to-INT ratio."

Rankings: No. 20 overall, No. 2 QB
