Alabama 4-star QB commit Eli Holstein throws for 183 yards, TD

Alabama four-star quarterback commit Eli Holstein led Zachary (La.) High to a 62-12 victory Friday night over Baton Rouge (La.) Liberty Magnet, giving his head coach David Brewerton the 100th win of his career.

Holstein finished completing 13 of his 18 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown. The future Crimson Tide signal-caller also added a rushing touchdown.

He is the No. 73 overall recruit and No. 8 quarterback in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Holstein currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $354k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time

Eli Holstein Scouting Summary

After sustaining an injury to his non-throwing shoulder on Sept. 16, doctors told On3 Consensus top-100 QB Eli Holstein that he’d be sidelined at least a month and up to six weeks. On the 20-day mark, Holstein suited up and started for defending Louisiana 5A champion Zachary and didn’t skip a beat. With a heavy emphasis on running the ball and getting it out of Holstein’s hands quickly, the Alabama commit completed 15-of-18 passes with 2 TD and took some massive hits from a smothering Woodlawn defensive front four that brought pressure throughout. Holstein was efficient and connected on two touchdowns and converted several first-downs with his legs. The 6-foot-4, 230-pounder was not at 100 percent, but didn’t blink orchestrating the gameplan after absorbing hits in and outside the pocket. He plays with a different sort of demeanor.
