Eli Sutton's Size, Athleticism Stand Out to UNC Offensive Line Coach Stacy Searels

Posted Jan 18, 2021
UNC offensive line coach Stacy Searels on 2021 offensive tackle Eli Sutton: "We are really glad Eli decided to come to Chapel Hill. He’s 6-foot-7, probably around 300 pounds, and can dunk a basketball. He loves football, his dad is a strength coach, he’s got a really great work ethic, a high football IQ, and he is going to add size, strength, and athleticism to our room." (Inside Carolina)
