As the 2027 recruiting class shapes up, all eyes are on Alabama's quarterback prospects. While the Crimson Tide is heavily pursuing 5-star talent Elijah Haven from Baton Rouge, it's Trent Seaborn from Thompson who truly embodies the spirit of Alabama football. Seaborn's commitment to the Tide is unwavering, despite other programs trying to lure him away.
Seaborn himself put it best, saying, "There’s no reason to schedule other OVs when I’m staying back and recruiting every weekend and every chance that I get." This old-school dedication is rare in today's recruiting landscape. Since pledging his allegiance to Alabama back in October, there's been no indication that Seaborn might have second thoughts.
The summer before senior year is typically packed with official visits for recruits, but Seaborn is bucking the trend. While others might be exploring options, Seaborn is solidifying his future in Tuscaloosa. He's already earning his stripes as a future Alabama legend, even before taking a snap for the Crimson Tide.
Instead of visiting other schools, Seaborn spent his recent weekend soaking in the victories of Alabama's basketball, baseball, and softball teams. His tweet summed it up perfectly: "3 dubs.
⚾️ 🏀 Today was a good day. 🐘 #RTR."
Currently a consensus 4-star quarterback, Seaborn is set to finish his high school career as one of Alabama's most decorated QBs. While he might not be the top-ranked quarterback in the 2027 class, his patience and commitment suggest he could follow in the footsteps of Mac Jones or Ty Simpson.
Both took time to develop at Alabama, with Jones leading the team to a National Championship and becoming a first-round NFL draft pick. Simpson, though without a championship, is also projected as a first-round pick in the upcoming draft.
Seaborn's journey is one to watch, as his dedication and talent could pave the way for a bright future with the Crimson Tide.
