'Best Version of Myself': Ohio State QB Commit Air Noland Looking To Showcase Talents At Elite 11 Finals

There seems to be a formula for becoming an Ohio State quarterback: shine in high school and go to the Elite 11 Finals.

Justin Fields and C.J. Stroud both won the Elite 11 MVP in 2017 and 2019, respectively, while Kyle McCord and Devin Brown competed as finalists in the 2020 and 2021 competitions.

Now, it's class of 2024 four-star Ohio State quarterback commit Air Noland is competing in this year's Elite 11 Finals in Los Angeles, something he said "meant a lot to him" since it's a competition of the next signal-callers "that will get drafted to the NFL." 

Noland said he has one goal in mind.

“The main focus is to win MVP and show why I think I’m the best quarterback in the country,” Noland told On3's Chad Simmons. “Not only proving it to myself but to every other quarterback out there, every news reporter out there and everyone. I’m coming out there with full head of steam focused on winning the MVP and being the best version of myself. If I can do that, then it will be without question that I’m the best quarterback in the country.”
