Contents

High school

Wolf attended Minster High School in Minster, Ohio. While at Minster High school, Wolf originally was a wide receiver, but later made the change to his current tight end position. [1]

Wolf caught the winning touchdown of the state championship game in his senior year of high school. [2]

College career

After finishing his high school career, Wolf first committed to Eastern Michigan University. However, after a friend was killed, Wolf later decommitted from Eastern Michigan and decided to join his brother Ethan Wolf at Tennessee, where Eli was a walk-on. [2] [3] While at Tennessee, Wolf only had 8 receptions for 86 yards and 1 touchdown in 3 years. This was due in part to the fact that Tennessee had a different offensive coordinator in each of his three years there. After his Junior year, Wolf decided to enter the transfer portal and transferred to the Georgia Bulldogs. At Georgia, Wolf had 13 receptions for 194 yards, which in one year was more than he amassed at Tennessee in 3 years, and 1 touchdown. [4] After the 2019 college football season, Wolf declared for the NFL Draft. [5]
