As a result of his strong showings in both of Wednesday’s competitions, St. Clair entered the final day of Elite 11 Finals with the lead in the MVP race. Alabama quarterback commit Keelon Russell, however, ended up beating out St. Clair for MVP honors following the 7-on-7 competition.

According to On3, Russell completed 19 of 25 passing attempts with five touchdowns in his 7-on-7 session while St. Clair went 11-for-19 with two touchdowns. The Elite 11 staff ultimately gave Russell the MVP award based on his more statistically efficient performance, though St. Clair still put his passing ability on display in the 7-on-7 competition.
