· Yahoo Sports

Nebraska quarterback commit Trae Taylor was named the MVP of the Elite 11 Finals (subscription required) over the weekend. Taylor impressed the scouts in Los Angeles with strong performances over the course of the three-day event.

The four-star quarterback heads into 2026 after a strong 2025 season at Carmel Catholic (IL). In 11 games, Taylor threw 3,571 yards, 38 touchdowns, and three interceptions. He also ran 77 times for 633 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Taylor is transferring to Millard South (NE) this offseason and will join a team that went 12-1 this past season and won back-to-back Class A State championships. He is expected to take over as the starting quarterback, replacing Jett Thomalla, who signed with Alabama.

Rivals Charles Power mentioned Taylor's arm strength and consistency as highlights of his weekend performance.

The Nebraska commit was the Rivals MVP of day one, flashing a big-time arm, showing the ability to drive the football to all levels of the field during drill work. He continued to show that plus arm talent during his pro day and was aggressive downfield, targeting high-level throws. He capped off the weekend with a seven-touchdown performance in the 7-on-7 period, making a litany of high-difficulty throws.

Overall, it was a successful showcase for the quarterback. This should see the quarterback's stock rise, and it should only be a matter of time before he earns that elusive fifth recruiting star.

The increased attention has attracted new suitors vying for the prospect. Ohio State recently expressed interest in Taylor, who has remained firm in his commitment to Nebraska.

There is still a lot of football to be played over this next year, and still a lot to take place. Nevertheless, the strong returns from this showcase certainly set the table for an exciting senior season.
