Holton Ahlers, the ECU Southpaw signal-caller is considered one of the top senior quarterback prospects because of his size, arm strength, and ability to read the game as it progresses. Ahlers, who is a descendant of Viking Royalty, is an interesting QB in this year’s NFL Draft. The 23-year-old has shown pro potential ahead of the draft.

The young talent is working with the quarterback academy, QB Country, as part of his draft preparation. Like Brock Purdy, the former Southpaw started a professional-level arm care and training program right before his senior season.
As a result, his touchdown-to-interception ratio went from 18 to 10 to 28 to 5. Hence, once a prospect who had been slept on, scouts started taking more interest in him after seeing his unbelievable progress. As Ahlers is gaining recognition among the fans as well, they are also wanting to know more about him.
Is Holton Ahlers romantically involved with anyone?
A Greenville native, Ahlers attended and played football, basketball, and baseball for D.H. Coney High School. He was a three-star recruit who committed to East Carolina. His collegiate career has been nothing short of impressive. As mentioned above, because of his improved ability to throw, he became the MVP of both the Hula Bowl and the NFLPA Bowl.

As much as his professional career has been a point of interest, fans want to know whom the Viking Royalty is dating. According to his Instagram account, Holton Ahlers is dating Grace Carmichaell. The couple shares adorable snaps of each other on their social media accounts.
How baseball helped Ahlers in becoming a strong QB
When Ahlers was in grade school, he hit a Little League home run so far that it felt like a battalion was approaching to attack. Additionally, when he was in high school, he turned down a meeting with the Yankees because football was where his interest lay. But because he wanted to become the best shot-caller, he had to change a few things about himself.
As per Sports Illustrated, when Ahlers was preparing for college football and for the draft, he lifted, ate, and worked out like a linebacker. This made his lower body like a fullback, as he was also in quad-dominant regiments.
However, he brought changes to his workout and balanced his lower and upper halves to bring more fluidity. Additionally, as he was set in his old ways, Ahlers threw a bit like a baseball player. But after the professional throwing session, he felt like a “real quarterback.” Like other NFL’s best quarterbacks, he was conditioned to play like a baseball player, but he made necessary changes that have now made him one of the league’s top prospects.
