The Elite 11 Finals in Los Angeles gathered the nation’s most coveted high school quarterbacks, and among them was Kamden Lopati, a 2027 recruit who has already pledged to the University of Michigan.
A standout performance
Lopati finished eleventh out of twenty quarterbacks in the overall evaluation, but it was his work in the 7v7 segment that turned heads, as he amassed 206 yards and connected on five touchdown passes.
During the Pro Day portion he threw exactly twenty passes, showcasing a blend of arm strength and precision that matched his 6‑foot‑2, 225‑pound frame.
The Michigan coaching staff’s relationship with Lopati emerged as a decisive factor in his commitment, a narrative he highlighted when discussing his decision.
Ranked as the tenth‑best quarterback in his class and the second‑best player in Utah, Lopati joins a growing list of talent that Michigan is courting, a group that also featured standout performances from Trae Taylor, the MVP who has committed to Nebraska, and Peter Borque, a former Michigan pledge now headed to Virginia Tech.
The Elite 11 format, which blends a training session, a Pro Day and a 7v7 showdown, provided a comprehensive stage for prospects to demonstrate versatility, and Lopati’s ability to excel across all three components underscores his rising profile.
