FSU Football: QB commit Luke Kromenhoek invited to Elite 11 Finals

FSU football QB commit Luke Kromenhoek went from playing WR/LB in high school to being an Elite 11 finalist, that is an incredible conversion and shows how athletic he is.

His football IQ seems to be getting better as his career takes off. Luke consistently performed well at the regionals in Orlando this past weekend to earn him a spot in the finals.

Luke joins former FSU quarterback Jameis Winston and current quarterback AJ Duffy as Elite 11 finalists.

Now, being in the Elite 11 doesn’t guarantee success, but you have guys like 2019’s class which featured CJ Stroud and Bryce Young, who are in talks to be the No. 1 pick in this year’s NFL draft.

2020 saw guys like Caleb Williams and Drake Maye, who will most likely be the top two quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL draft. Could Cade Klubnik and Quinn Ewers be the next two greats from the Elite 11?

I think Luke will hold his own in the finals, and he will come away learning a lot about himself. He is still raw as a quarterback, but mostly due to inexperience, but man, can he throw. He will come to the FSU, potentially redshirting with guys like AJ Duffy and Brock Glenn getting their shot to start. However, his ceiling is likely higher than both players.

I remember the Bobby Bowden days when he had such a good system where a QB would start as a junior so they could learn the system for two years before they took the starting job. Those days are gone, but the future is bright for Luke at FSU.

Luke is also an integral part of Tribe ’24, as he is already recruiting hard for the Noles. He wants to bring the best talent with him to Tallahassee, and he is going after several talented players to join him in the class like Booker Pickett Jr.

Also, ★★★★★ DB Charles Lester III is on Luke’s radar.

Final Thoughts

I can’t wait to see Luke with players like Kam Davis, Camdon Frier, and Tawaski Abrams and the speed and athletic ability of those players. FSU is starting to recruit like the powerhouse teams, and they need players like this to stay on top once they get there.
