EOIN MCELHOLM has acknowledged that he would have a big decision to make if an AFL contract offer comes in.
Throw in his terrific minor and college record — he played in the 2021 All-Ireland minor decider and captained Omagh CBS to Hogan Cup success in 2023 — and you can understand why AFL scouts are interested. Asked about his AFL situation, McElholm, who turns 20 next month, said it’s something he hasn’t ruled out but has placed on the back burner for now.
“It definitely would,” said McElholm, who made his senior debut as a sub in last year’s Championship defeat to Roscommon. “It wouldn’t be a straightforward decision. I’d obviously have to think about it and stuff. I just really enjoyed the opportunity, and if things weren’t going well, you’re always only a flight away from home.”
“Probably the rest of my scores weren’t as good as the sprint. But that’s what they really look into, yeah, your physical attributes. Because they know when you’re over there, you’ll have the skill base to pick up on their game and learn it.” “It’s a knock-out game, that’s the way you have to look at it,” said McElholm, a Sigerson Cup semi-finalist earlier this year with Ulster University. “It’s an elimination game now. You have to prepare for it as if it’s your last chance, basically. The main thing is getting a performance.
