Eli Harold

The fabulous sportsman Eli Harold is a former professional Football defensive end, who most famously played for the San Francisco 49ers of the NFL. He also turned out for the Detroit Lions in the NFL, and the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL.

Born and raised in Virginia, Harold was a two-sport star in both Football and track during his High School years. As a Senior he was named Beach District Defensive Player of the Year and a first-team All-district selection at wide receiver and defensive end. He also played in the 2012 US Army All-American Bowl, where he served as a team captain for the East squad. Regarded as a four-star recruit by both Rivals.com and ESPN, he was ranked as the No. 1 overall player in the state of Virginia, the No. 5 defensive end nationally and the No. 50 overall prospect by Rivals, and the No. 15 defensive end in the nation by ESPN. He was also regarded as a five-star recruit by Scout.com. He committed to the University of Virginia to play college football, and turned professional after graduating when he was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2015 NFL draft.

Harold remained with the 49ers until August 2018 when he was traded to the Detroit Lions. A year later he moved to the Buffalo Bills on a one-year deal. He was then traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in August, but was released during the final roster cuts a few week later. He joined the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL in December.

Harold regularly connects with his legions of followers and fans through Instagram and Twitter, posting pictures and videos of his life around Football. He is also available for that personalised shout-out via the Cameo platform.
