It appears there’s some confusion here — Eli Stowers is not a 2026 recruit, and he did not commit to BYU. Here’s what’s accurate:
- Eli Stowers is a graduate, first‑team All‑SEC tight end at Vanderbilt, who previously played QB at Texas A&M and NMSU before transferring to Vanderbilt in 2024 .
- Rather than commit to any new school, Stowers chose to return to Vanderbilt for his senior season in 2025, foregoing an early NFL draft entry ().
- He has never been linked to a BYU commitment, and there’s no credible report suggesting a “flip” or switch of that magnitude.
So while Stowers is undoubtedly a high-caliber player—with over 600 yards and 5 TDs in 2024, and preseason All-American honors for 2025—there’s no basis to this “flip” rumor to BYU.
If you’re thinking about another top recruit or prospect, let me know—I’m happy to check on them!
