Eli Holstein

Alabama has its second QB transfer from the program

It's safe to say the offense is a work in progress at the moment as new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees is still adjusting to the Crimson Tide way. The quarterback's all showed signs of competence on Saturday afternoon, but they will all have to improve to be effective this coming fall.

Alabama locks in a big quarterback prospect.

Lonergan chose the Tide over South Carolina and Stanford. Offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien and safeties coach Charles Kelly served as his primary recruiters on the football side.

The Crimson Tide commit will be competing with Tennessee commit Nico Iamaleava, Clemson commit Christopher Vizzina and USC commit Malachi Nelson among others. New Texas commit and consensus No. 1 quarterback in the class Arch Manning will not be participating.

4-star quarterback Eli Holstein out of Zachary Louisiana committed to the Alabama on Tuesday morning, becoming the first 2023 quarterback commit for the Tide.

The Crimson Tide currently boast the No. 37 overall recruiting class in 2023 but have only accepted three commitments, leaving Alabama with plenty of room and time to secure another top-five class under head coach Nick Saban.

Enter Eli Holstein out of Zachary, Louisiana. The 6-foot-4 quarterback is considered a 4-star prospect by 247Sports and rated as the No. 8 quarterback in the class by evaluators.
