Sione Kaho, a four-star quarterback recruit in the class of 2027, turned heads with his performance at the Elite 11 quarterback camp in Los Angeles. The Oregon Ducks are among the schools recruiting the 6-3, 210-pound signal caller from Tacoma, Washington, who has played varsity for three seasons at Lincoln High School.

Why it matters

Kaho's standout showing at the prestigious Elite 11 camp further cements his status as one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2027 recruiting class. The Ducks are looking to build depth at the position, with current starter Dante Moore returning for one more season in 2026 before potentially leaving for the NFL.

At the Elite 11 camp, recruiting analyst Tom Loy of 247Sports named Kaho the 'Alpha Dog' of the event, praising his arm talent, accuracy and velocity. In his high school career so far, Kaho has thrown for 6,557 yards, 54 touchdowns and 23 interceptions, while also rushing for 588 yards and 9 scores.
