Eli Stowers is no stranger to a position change with his versatile skillset. In high school, he was a four-star recruit at quarterback while also winning a Texas state championship in the high jump. He alternated between quarterback and tight end in his first two years at Texas A&M, hardly seeing the field.
After transferring to New Mexico State, he completed four passes at QB, but largely played tight end. In his two years at Vanderbilt, he was almost exclusively a tight end, with the exception of one completed pass in 2024. This went for a touchdown, meaning that Stowers has 5 completed passes at the collegiate level, with two going for touchdowns.
Now, Stowers may be undergoing another position change to wide receiver. Here's everything to know about the tight end's transition. MORE: The Sporting News' full seven-round mock draft What position will Eli Stowers play in NFL?
