Eli, an Ohio State commit, made his presence felt with 34 tackles and an interception, and he’s trending toward a breakout season. A hard-hitting safety, he brings a physical edge to the secondary, playing with confidence and aggression every time he steps on the field. On film, he shows a strong willingness to come downhill and meet ball carriers with force, delivering clean, impactful hits and finishing plays.

He flashes good instincts in coverage, reading the quarterback’s eyes and putting himself in position to make plays on the ball, highlighted by his interception. Eli also shows solid range and closing speed, allowing him to cover ground quickly and limit big plays. With his physicality, awareness, and developing playmaking ability, he’s a safety that can anchor a defense—and all signs point to him taking a major step forward this upcoming season.
