A team that has certainly been active in the transfer portal this offseason, the Vanderbilt Commodores picked up a notable addition Wednesday afternoon, as Eli Stowers officially announced his commitment to the SEC program.
Stowers, a transfer tight end from New Mexico State, comes to Vanderbilt off a season in which he had 35 receptions for 366 yards and two touchdowns, as well as rushing for 108 yards and two more scores on 28 attempts. The New Mexico State transfer also saw time as a passer, completing 4-of-8 passes for 99 yards and a touchdown.
A season in which he converted to the tight end position, Stowers originally began his collegiate career within the SEC at Texas A&M where he played quarterback. There, he was rated as one of Texas A&M’s top commits from their 2021 class, ranking as a four-star prospect, but would not record any stats with the Aggies across the 2021-22 seasons prior to transferring to New Mexico State.
Stowers is now transfer portal pickup No. 21 for Vanderbilt this offseason, as well as the first at the tight end position.
Ex-New Mexico State standout tight end Eli Stowers will transfer to Vanderbilt, he tells @247Sports.
Stowers, a former Texas A&M top-100 recruit as a QB, moved to TE last year and had P4 teams intrigued after posting 35 catches last season. It’s Vandy that lands him, though.… pic.twitter.com/e9O3wb2pog
