First-team All-SEC tight end Eli Stowers will return to Vanderbilt for the 2025 season instead of heading to the NFL.

Stowers told ESPN he is staying in Nashville another season in order to become “the best version of myself” and to help “change the culture and reputation of the program.”
Stowers caught 49 passes for 638 yards and five touchdowns in 13 games for Vanderbilt (7-6), including 100-yard games against Georgia State, Alabama and Ball State.
He has 84 catches for 1,004 yards and seven touchdowns in 33 career games, adding 35 carries for 132 yards and two scores.
