Holstein pulls a stunner with a pre-summer commitment to the Crimson Tide! Alabama is expected to continue its pursuit of Arch Manning (official visit on June 10-12) and Dylan Lonergan (official visit on June 3-5).
National take
"Lost in the discussion of Arch Manning and other five-star quarterbacks so far in this class is that Eli Holstein is an incredibly talented player who could end up being the most productive and best one of this entire bunch. That's certainly not out of the question since Holstein plays at a great program and put up phenomenal numbers both through the air and on the ground in his junior season. He's a winner, he comes from a football family and something tells me Holstein wants to prove he's been a little overlooked in this class as the discussion centers around Manning and the other current five-stars. If a quarterback who was once committed to Texas A&M and now at Alabama can not be the center of conversation it would be this recruiting cycle but Holstein's commitment is great for the Crimson Tide and could end up being an even better move three or four years down the line."- Rivals National Recruiting Director Adam Gorney
