Eli Stowers Earns AP All-American Honors: The Anchor

Vanderbilts tight end got another notable preseason honor Monday evening.

Eli Stowers was selected to first-team preseason All-America by the Associated Press , making it the sixth time the Commodore star has received honors for making a preseason watch list or preseason first-team.

Stowers is entering his final collegiate season and hopes to elevate his performance from last season wherever finished with 49 receptions for 638 yards and five touchdowns.

Stowers possesses NFL potential and could even raise his draft stock to an early round pick if he is able to make a major impact on Vanderbilts offense this fall.

Last season, the first-team All-SEC tight end played a big role in Vanderbilts wins against No.

1 Alabama and Ball State, where he put up 113 yards and 130 yards respectively.

Stowers is a part of one of the more lethal quarterback-tight end combinations in the nation with quarterback Diego Pavia.

The connection between the two made Stowers the team leader in receiving yards, receptions and receiving touchdowns.

With the 2025 season on the horizon, the Vanderbilt offense looks to take the next step and climb the SEC ladder.

Stowers performance last season helped Vanderbilt get to a 7-6 record last season and its first bowl victory since 2013 with a Birmingham Bowl victory over Georgia Tech.

Stowers has also been named to first-team preseason All-America by the Walter Camp Foundation, ESPN, The Athletic, The Sporting News, Athlon Sports and Phil Steele.

Stowers is also on watch lists for Walter Camp Player of the Year, the Biletnikoff Award, John Mackey Award and the Lombard Award.

The first 20-25 minutes they pinned us back, but we showed a little bit of toughness and a lot of communication.

Individually, there were moments where it was a challenge defensively but we won the battles, Ambrose said .
