Fairburn (Ga.) Langston Hughes four-star quarterback Air Noland (6-3, 195), who committed to Ohio State in April, turned in an impressive performance at the Elite 11 Finals this week, named one of the country’s Elite 11 quarterbacks.
Noland competed alongside several talented quarterbacks – including Carlsbad, Calif., five-star Julian Sayin (6-1, 195), who is committed to Alabama and won MVP for the event, and Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day School four-star Jadyn Davis (6-1, 202), who is committed to Michigan – and was able to stand out from the pack, impressing in all three days of competition.
Beginning on Thursday, Noland finished as the day’s third-ranked quarterback, competing 17 of his 20 passing attempts and finishing eighth in a competition that measured a quarterback’s velocity and release time. He was the third-ranked signal caller on Friday as well, completing 15 of his 20 passes and finishing eighth in the Elite 11’s accuracy challenge.
Noland wrapped up work at the Elite 11 on Saturday ahead of his official visit to Ohio State, and he was named the third-best quarterback at the Elite 11 by 247Sports and the fifth-best quarterback by On3.
Noland is the No. 37 overall prospect and fifth-ranked quarterback in the class, and he is the fourth Ohio State quarterback in recent years – including C.J. Stroud, Kyle McCord and Devin Brown – to participate in the event.
