“Eli Sawyer epitomizes what it takes to achieve success at the QB position. His work ethic, competitive character and willingness to learn helped to make him a leader on our team and contributed to the many successes that we achieved as an organization. Over the years I have had the privilege to work alongside so many QBs that could dictate the narrative of a football program and Eli certainly did that. It would be an honor for him to teach my kids the fundamentals of QB play but more importantly, the right way to play the position.” — Frank Scelfo, Head Coach SE Louisiana
