QB Commit Ranked Among Top 5 at Elite 11

By most accounts, Tait Reynolds had a pretty good showing during the Elite 11 finals.

The four-star Clemson QB commit spent the better part of this week in Los Angeles competing against 20 of the best quarterback prospects in the country in a number of skills competitions, as well as a 7v7 event.

Rivals recruiting analyst Adam Gorney ranked the 11 best performers from the event, slotting Reynolds at No. 5.

“Reynolds was skilled, reliable and consistent,” Gorney wrote. “The Clemson commit has a little elongated motion (probably from his baseball background) but he’s a big, steady presence in the pocket who was exceptional on deep throws and the seam routes during the Pro Day.”

“He was solid the other two days, if not spectacular. He will head to play for the Tigers and have weapons around him.”

Reynolds was also named one of the Top Performers by the event. During the 7v7 portion, the rising high school senior was 14-of-19 with two touchdowns.

Reynolds is one of two QBs the Tigers have committed in the 2026 class. Last season, he completed 62% of his passes for 2,238 yards, with 22 touchdowns and five interceptions. He also rushed for 1,437 yards with another 19 scores, while averaging 10.4 yards per carry.

Rivals and On3 both rank Reynolds inside the Top 250 overall and as one of the top 20 quarterbacks in his class.
