He is the No. 72 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.

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.
