Will Mencl has established himself as one of the premier passers in the 2027 class, and the Chandler (Ariz.) star will be heading to Los Angeles this summer to prove it.

Mencl, a 5-star Oregon commit, received an invite to the Elite 11 Finals on Wednesday evening, becoming the 15th of 20 passers to earn a spot.

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 at the end of May.

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 Ranking, including five of the top six players at the position.

Mencl checks in as the No. 49 overall prospect and No. 3 passer in the class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, an equally weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services.

Rivals, however, is higher on him than both 247Sports and ESPN. In the most recent Rivals300 rankings, he was tabbed as the country’s No. 13 recruit and No. 1 quarterback.
