Louisville quarterback commit Briggs Cherry has earned an invitation to the prestigious Elite 11 Finals following a standout performance at the regional competition in Ohio. The event, known for showcasing the nation’s top high school quarterbacks, will take place in California later this year. Cherry becomes the fifth quarterback to receive an invite to the finals in 2025 and marks the first Louisville commit to be selected since Pierce Clarkson.
Hailing from Knoxville, Tennessee, Cherry is currently rated as a composite three-star prospect. However, that rating may soon rise as national recruiting analysts continue to take notice of his progress. Rivals has already upgraded his ranking, and other major recruiting platforms could follow suit after his impressive regional showing.
Cherry has been turning heads throughout the spring as he’s participated in various quarterback camps across the region. His poise, arm strength, and overall command have helped separate him from the pack, earning praise from scouts and media alike. The Elite 11 Finals will offer him an even bigger platform to display his abilities against some of the best high school quarterbacks in the country.
His recent success adds momentum to Louisville’s 2025 recruiting class, and his Elite 11 appearance could further boost interest in the program. Quarterbacks who excel at the Elite 11 often see significant jumps in their recruiting stock, and Cherry now has the chance to make a name for himself on a national stage.
With the competition still ahead, all eyes will be on Cherry as he prepares for the next phase of the Elite 11 process. A strong performance in California could solidify his place among the top quarterback prospects in the nation and bring even more recognition to the Louisville football program.
