Eli Holstein earned his first Division I offer – from Ed Orgeron’s staff at LSU – before he played a down of varsity football. As a junior, he threw for 3,228 yards, 30 touchdowns and rushed for an additional 523 yards and 14 scores on the ground. That effort earned him Louisiana Class 5A all-state honors. Both of Holstein’s parents attended LSU and his father, Scott, played football for the Tigers. His brother, Caleb, won a state championship as a quarterback at St. Thomas More before graduating and signing with Louisiana Tech in 2020.
