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.
The top-rated quarterback in next year's recruiting class, Arch Manning, announced his commitment to the University of Texas on Thursday, becoming the eighth commit in the Longhorns' 2023 class.
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.
However, reports from Steve Wiltfong of 247sports suggest that not only has Manning not cut his list to a final two options, but is instead considering up to six schools for his services.
