How we track Eli: every fact on this page is drawn from the verified 2027 commit board and cross-checked against the 247Sports composite and published reporting before it is listed. His height and weight come from 247Sports' Ohio State 2027 commits page, on the date stamped beside them. We do not post measurables we have not read in print, film breakdowns or photos of high school recruits. Ratings and national ranks move through the cycle; the board timestamp is the last verification date.
