WATCH: Alabama 4-star QB commit Eli Holstein weaves his way through the defense for a touchdown
Zachary (La.) four-star quarterback Eli Holstein is one of the top signal-callers in the country. The Alabama commit, who helped clinch a 20-10 playoff win over West Monroe (La.) on Friday night, showcased this with his dual-threat ability.
Holstein took the snap before racing towards the right side of the field. He then cut back to his left and eventually crossed the goal line for a touchdown.
A 6-foot-3.5, 230-pound signal-caller, Holstein is the No. 72 overall prospect 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. He is also the No. 5 player in Louisiana.

The four-star is one of two quarterbacks in the Crimson Tide’s 2023 recruiting class, which ranks No. 1 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings. Snellville (Ga.) Brookwood four-star Dylan Lonergan is the other.
Holstein 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.
