Ole Miss's face of 2027 class, Baylor QB Keegan Croucher, is headed to Elite 11 finals.

Keegan Croucher to Elite 11 finals
Croucher getting invited to the event is an honor on it's own, as Rivals' Hunter Shelton explains, "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."
"Last year’s Elite 11 Finals featured 16 of the top 25 quarterbacks in the country, including five of the top six players at the position," Shelton continues.
Croucher, ranked the No. 13 QB in the 2027 cycle, per Rivals Industry Rankings, and the No. 50 recruit and No. 4 QB in the nation, per Rivals300, already carries the expectations of a star QB heading into the Elite 11.
Golding scored a massive win with Croucher, as he's turned down every single poaching attempt from other schools, and stayed true to his commitment to Ole Miss.
“I think the opportunity to be developed by some of the best coaches in the game, play in a quarterback-friendly offense, and the opportunity to compete right away," Croucher said about sticking with Ole Miss.
The 2026 Elite 11 Finals will be held May 29 to June 1 in Los Angeles.
