(Warminster, Pa.), continued to turn heads throughout day three of the Elite 11 finals, according to Barton Simmons, director of scouting for

.

Simmons, who watched Russo closely Tuesday, is one of multiple scouts from 247Sports.com, who will provide daily updates on Russo throughout the competition.

Here's what he had to say about Russo's day three performance:

He looked good. The first day, he looked really good. He made the initial Elite 11 that they released this morning, and I thought he was really one of the guys that stood out the most just in terms of his presence, his command in the pocket, just a big-bodied kid that can really stand and deliver. I just think he has some unique tools.

Today, they did basically a redzone 7-on-7 session. Each kid only got six throws all day, so it was a small sample size. It was kind of a recovery day. They just wanted to lower the volume a little bit and get them a couple pre-game reps. Anthony had a good session.

Simmons went on to discuss his 7-on-7 workout in-depth:

What I like about him in the 7-on-7 setting is that he's really decisive. He goes out there with a plan. He appears to really have a good grasp of what they are asking him to do, what his reads are, where his progressions go to and he makes decisive, quick decisions. And then, when he throws the football, he spins it well. And I think he throws it with power and with composure.

So, I think everything's a positive with him this week, so far. I think he's been really good. He's, to me, a stock-up guy and kind of a revelation, in terms of a guy that we didn't necessarily know a lot about heading into this camp season. We hadn't necessarily sat and watched him a lot, but up close, he's been really really good every opportunity we've had to see him.

Based on his highly-productive offseason, does Simmons believe Russo could receive enough of a bump from 247Sports.com to become a four-star recruit?

I think he could be. I think he's definitely at least a high-three. To me, I haven't spent a lot of time watching his film, so, you know, you don't wanna get too overboard on a kid just strictly based on camp. I know he didn't put up huge numbers, but I also know he plays at a really good program and they run the football a lot. So I want to sort of see what he looks like in pads and I want to see what he looks like the rest of this week when there's defenses out there, so he's not just throwing on air, he's not just throwing six-rep sessions.

But I think he's got the skill-set. He absolutely has four-star tools. We just need to dig a little deeper and figure out whether that's showing up on film, showing up when it matters. But when he's out here, he's one of about five or six guys out of the 18 that look college-ready, just look different physically, look different when they throw the football. And for an elite group like this, I think that's pretty telling.

He was a long shot to even make it to Oregon, as most of the 30 semifinalists were national quarterback recruits, including five-stars Jacob Eason (Georgia commit), Shea Patterson (Ole' Miss) and Malik Henry (Florida State).

However, he put forth the camp performance of his life during the semifinal round, becoming more impressive as the competition waged on.

In 2014, Russo threw for 1,551 yards and 22 TDs (to only 3 INTs), in his team's pro-style offense, leading to a 14-1 record (4-0) and PIAA AAA state championship.

A three-star recruit according to the 247Sports.com composite, Russo originally received his Rutgers offer at unofficial visitors' weekend in March, ultimately selecting the Scarlet Knights over UConn, Buffalo, Temple and multiple FCS schools.

The Elite 11 finals are being held at the Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Ore.

It's one of the most prestigious off-season high school football events across the entire country, with only 18 quarterbacks being selected to compete for the the Elite 11 spots.
