Ohio State five-star 2025 QB commit Tavien St. Clair became the seventh quarterback to qualify for the Elite 11 Finals on Sunday and fulfilled a childhood dream in the process.
fondly remembers watching former Buckeye legend Justin Fields beat out fellow top signal-caller prospect Trevor Lawrence for Elite 11 Finals MVP in 2017. The Bellefontaine product estimates he started paying attention to the event before that, but either way, he knew he wanted to compete at the Elite 11 Finals himself someday. He wasn’t sure if he’d ever get the opportunity, considering he hails from Bellefontaine, a town that has a population just north of 14,000.
Throughout the day, St. Clair and a group of other quarterbacks rotated through different stations. The group participated in a variety of drills, focused on footwork, ball placement, pocket presence, sideline throws and more. St. Clair said the coaching he received Sunday resonated with him because it was nearly the same things he’s been told over the past few weeks by Ohio State offensive coordinator Chip Kelly.
“He’s been great, I think he’s going to do great things in Columbus,” St. Clair said of his interactions with Kelly. “He’s been a great add-on. In a few weeks, I’ve learned so much already, more than I have in my entire football career just being in the quarterback meetings. It’s going to be really special in Columbus.”
“Something I can take back to my team is just to compete every day,” St. Clair said of his biggest takeaway from being around Ohio State’s spring practices. “Just trying to be the best that you can for your teammate and not only for yourself but for the university and my school back at home. Compete every day, because Ohio State is going to be the best team in the country this year, their competitive excellence shows that in practice. That’s something I’ll take back with me to my practice.
