Holstein has also been a major threat running the football, adding 189 yards and two more scores. Following Pitt’s victory over Youngstown State, Holstein has started to earn some postseason awards hype.Holstein’s name and early season success have gone from a Pittsburgh story to a national story.With this success comes the reality of current-day college football and the NIL world. This week’s headline story involves UNLV quarterback Matthew Sluka’s decision to opt out the remainder of the season over an NIL dispute, despite his team being 3-0 and ranked nationally.NIL isn’t going anywhere, which makes Alliance 412 — the preferred NIL collective of Pitt football — all that much more important. The University of Pittsburgh knows this, and the football program also realizes the importance Holstein could have on the program over the next few seasons.Alliance 412 has been proactive and awarded Eli Holstein with a little “gift” following his electric start to the season.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">🔥 Big congrats to our QB1 <a href="https://twitter.com/eli_holstein10?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@eli_holstein10</a> on an incredible season so far! 🏈🙌 To celebrate his hard work, we’re thrilled to present him with a brand new truck, thanks to our partnership with Delaney Automotive Group! 🛻✨Alliance 412 is all about supporting our athletes both… <a href="https://t.co/bmItL0Ic77">pic.twitter.com/bmItL0Ic77</a>— Alliance 412 (@Alliance_412) <a href="https://twitter.com/Alliance_412/status/1839364994812576002?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 26, 2024</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote></div></body>
