Eli Holstein

Big build with verified growth up to 6-foot-4 from sophomore to junior offseasons. Already was good-sized but appears to have hit a spurt.

Excellent combine testing athleticism proven multiple times over two offseasons. Very good combine speed and lateral agility with exceptionally high testing score (133+ SPARQ at Elite 11 Las Vegas in May 2022).

Effective in the short-to-intermediate passing game thanks to plus velocity. Shows window-fitting ability in those situations. Typically accurate and consistent to those levels.

Improved runner as a junior with noticeably better functional athleticism as a scrambler. Not a dancer in a play-extending sense, but climbs the pocket very well and shows some straight-line burst when deciding to tuck and run. Athletic enough to keep defenses honest and get a designed run here and there.

Displays requisite arm strength with field-stretching ability of 50-plus yards. Very good production as a junior with encouraging INT rate (one every 52+ throws).

Extremely high arm strength / velocity capacities, but could be still growing into larger frame. Often loads up to unleash deep balls. Sometimes uses a big wind-up and can quicken delivery in general. Field athleticism does not always reflect elite testing data.

Now two inches taller with continued outstanding combine performance, may have flipped the script on floor vs. ceiling discussion. Possesses high-upside tools / data points and still developing technical acumen. Projects as a high-major QB prospect who could become a multi-year starter with NFL Draft potential.
