Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers tells ESPN he’s not playing against Iowa in the ReliaQuest Bowl. He won the Mackey Award in 2025 and earned first-team All-SEC honors. He’s off to the NFL Draft, where he’ll compete for the top tight end slot.
Stowers tells ESPN: "I’ve already started prepping for the NFL Combine so I won’t play, but this team will always hold a special place in my heart, and it was important for me to be here with my guys to support them in this game."
