Looks like VU has his QB for this next class... Elliott got offered by VU only last week, came for a visit Tuesday and committed...
Plays at an all-Catholic high school... VU was his only P5 offer, but it's early, so we'll see if that changes (and we'll see if he stays true to the Commodores if it does)...
Junior stats: 3,184 passing yards, 34 touchdowns; 940 rushing yards, seven touchdowns
Commitment: Jack Elliott, 6-0 205 QB Chicago-Mt. Carmel, IL
Re: Commitment: Jack Elliott, 6-0 205 QB Chicago-Mt. Carmel, IL
A little local insight.
Mt Carmel is an all boys school that plays in the Chicago Catholic league (most competitive football conference in IL). Only loss this season was to Loyal by 2. Loyal was #1 team in IL for largest schools. Pat Fitzgerald was an assistant at LOYAL this year because his sons were on the team. Mt Carmel won state in 7A second largest football class. Mt Carmel had an enrollment of around 1200.
This a QB from a football factory. Very well coached. Very disciplined

“It’s just a brotherhood [at VU], it’s different,” Elliott said.
Elliott also liked the plan and faith the Vanderbilt staff presented him. Everyone on Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea’s staff made an impression on Elliott during his visit, even the defensive coaches.
With the transfer portal set to get more names with the end of spring practices in the coming weeks, Elliott believed now was the best time to commit.
“It just shows how much I’m needed in the program and that they want me to be there and help them win,” Elliott said. “They don’t want to go in the transfer portal, get a new guy who they don’t know if he’ll be good, doesn’t know if they will pan out and they don’t want to develop someone else. They think I can come in there and play at a high level. That just really showed how much they believed in me.”
Vanderbilt is betting on Elliott after a strong junior season where he helped the Caravan win their second straight state championship. Both 247Sports and Rivals list Elliott as a three-star dual threat quarterback.

Jack Elliott participated in the Under Armour Next combine with Tom Luginbill in Canton, Ohio on Sunday, and was named the Co-QB MVP of the camp... not shabby.
