Eli Stowers an Enticing Tight End Prospect After Productive SEC Career
Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers had a phenomenal two seasons at Vanderbilt following stints at Texas A&M and New Mexico State. Originally recruited as a quarterback, Stowers converted to a tight end after losing the quarterback battle to Diego Pavia at New Mexico State. He followed Pavia to Vanderbilt and ended up being his No. 1 target en route to a productive career with the Commodores. In 25 games over the last two years, Stowers hauled in 111 receptions for 1,407 yards and nine touchdowns. He tallied career highs in receptions (62) and receiving yards (769) in 2025. The 22-year-old is a potential first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and he's widely viewed as the TE2 in the class, behind Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq. With just three seasons of experience at the position, Stowers could take time to develop at the NFL level, and his blocking ability leaves a lot to be desired at this point in his career.
