Just over two years after making a position switch from quarterback, Vanderbilt’s Eli Stowers is one of three finalists for an award given to the best tight end in college football.

The graduate student was Tuesday named a finalist for the John Mackey Award, joined by Baylor’s Michael Trigg and Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq.
