LOS ANGELES -- Day one of the Elite 11 Finals is in the books from Redondo (Calif.) Union High School in Southern California.

Twenty four of the nation’s top quarterbacks are in the Southland this weekend in hopes of being one of the 12 signal callers invited to The Opening Finals in Dallas June 29-July 3.

The Elite 11, which first kicked off way back in 1999, has undergone a few changes over the years. This is the third year of the current format of having the top 24 quarterbacks compete for three days with a final 12 being chosen on Sunday.

The 24 quarterbacks were selected based on their body of work that included their high school tape, live performances at The Opening regional and Elite 11 regional events, testing Rating as well as their college potential and upside.

Going in to Redondo, the quarterbacks were ranked 1-24 based on the above mentioned criteria and will have three days to either solidify their spot in the top 12 or make a big jump in to the top 12 if you’re currently rated in the 20s heading in to the camp.

Here is 247Sports' look at the top 11 performers on Friday's day one action from the Elite 11 Finals.

Mountain/Island recruiting analyst Blair Angulo contributed to this notebook.

SLIDE 1 of 12 No. 1 Spencer Rattler, Phoenix (Ariz.) Pinnacle No. 1- Spencer Rattler, Phoenix (Ariz.) Pinnacle. Committed to Oklahoma - Rattler was the most consistent quarterback of the day and then sealed the No. 1 spot when he won the target competition at the end of the camp. He’s a very athletic kid with a live, accurate arm and an ideal fit in Oklahoma’s system. He wasn’t able to showcase a big part of his game today, his ability to use his legs and was still our alpha.

SLIDE 2 of 12 No. 2 Zach Calzada, Buford (Ga.) Lanier No. 2- Zach Calzada, Buford (Ga.) Lanier - Calzada is as a pure a thrower as you’ll see, at least in this environment. Mechanically, he’s very advanced, the ball flies out of his hand and he was able to spin the football consistently through a pretty decent head wind. His arm is very live and he could make all the throws, from the touch passes with great timing to the back shoulder throws as well.

SLIDE 3 of 12 No. 3 Graham Mertz, Mission (Kan.) Blue Valley North No. 3- Graham Mertz, Mission (Kan.) Blue Valley North. Committed to Wisconsin - We were tipped off by co-worker Barton Simmons that Mertz could be the guy to soar up the rankings following this event. The signal caller did not disappoint and has a ton of projectable tools. He has a college body right now, a smooth easy release, and one of the biggest arms in the event. It’s easy to see why the Wisconsin commit has several national programs beating down his door.

SLIDE 4 of 12 No. 4 Taulia Tagovailoa, Alabaster (Ala.) Thompson No. 4- Taulia Tagovailoa, Alabaster (Ala.) Thompson. Committed to Alabama - We haven’t seen too many players make a bigger jump in the last year then Tagovailoa. No longer should he be known as ‘Tua’s younger brother’ he was ripping the ball as well as anyone today. His body has leaned out, he has better pocket presence and that arm strength is at the elite level. Alabama got a good one here.

SLIDE 5 of 12 No. 5 Dylan Morris, Graham (Wash.) Kapowsin No. 5- Dylan Morris, Graham (Wash.) Kapowsin. Committed to Washington - Morris was very consistent today, as he always is and does a little of everything well. He always looks on balance and composed, throws with advanced timing and anticipation, and is among the most accurate quarterbacks in the country. His arm strength has improved and the Husky commit looked healthy, saying he’s almost fully recovered from a previous ankle injury.

SLIDE 6 of 12 No. 6 Max Duggan, Council Bluffs (Iowa) Lewis Central No. 6- Max Duggan, Council Bluffs (Iowa) Lewis Central. Committed to TCU - Duggan was one of our surprise performers of the day. He’s not as touted as some of the other quarterbacks but threw it as well as just about everyone. He was a standout in every drill and looked just as comfortable rolling out and throwing on the run as he did throwing out of the pocket. The TCU commit is an intriguing kid with a nice upside to him.

SLIDE 7 of 12 No. 7 Ryan Hilinski, Orange (Calif.) Lutheran No. 7- Ryan Hilinski, Orange (Calif.) Lutheran. Committed to South Carolina - We have seen Hilinski a ton this off season and he has improved by leaps and bounds from a year ago. He’s a big, strong kid who has improved his mobility, accuracy and downfield touch. The arm strength was always there and the South Carolina pledge is a highly intelligent kid as well playing with a ton of confidence.

SLIDE 8 of 12 No. 8 Bo Nix, Pinson Valley (Ala.) No. 8- Bo Nix, Pinson Valley (Ala.). Committed to Auburn - Nix struggled a bit in the roll out drills but looked smooth and efficient the rest of the day. The Auburn commit is another kid who has a pure stroke, very solid mechanically and an effortless release. He has enough arm strength to get the ball down the field but is at his best making the high percentage throws with timing and anticipation.

SLIDE 9 of 12 No. 9 Sam Howell, Monroe (N.C.) Sun Valley No. 9- Sam Howell, Monroe (N.C.) Sun Valley. Committed to Florida State - The Florida State commit had one of the strongest arms in the event and didn’t appear to be affected by the gusty conditions, but was erratic at times, missing high on some throws over the middle. He’s wide shouldered and sets his feet well as he loads up, but needs to be more consistent with his mechanics. He flashed big potential, though, and could be a real star for the Seminoles down the road.

SLIDE 10 of 12 No. 10 Dwan Mathis, Belleville (Mich.) Oak Park No. 10- Dwan Mathis, Belleville (Mich.) Oak Park. Committed to Michigan State - Unquestionably one of the more physically impressive participants, Mathis has an intriguing frame that should translate well to the next level. He’s long, but his delivery is not loopy. The Michigan State commit is bound to put on good weight and improve the arm strength.

SLIDE 11 of 12 No. 11 Jacob Zeno, San Antonio (Texas) John Jay No. 11- Jacob Zeno, San Antonio (Texas) John Jay. Committed to Baylor - Zeno was another pleasant surprise for us. He didn’t have a ton of pre-camp buzz but stood out in every drill. He has an athletic frame, spins it very well and the ball jumps out of his hand. The Baylor pledge is able to just flick his wrist to get the ball down the field with very little wasted motion or windup.
