Justice Haynes, the son of Georgia football legend, has entered the transfer portal after spending two seasons at Alabama. The running back, who has three years of eligibility remaining, will now look for a new home following his time in Tuscaloosa. While it remains unclear whether Georgia will pursue him, his decision is certainly one to watch for Bulldogs fans.
Haynes, a Georgia native, initially chose Alabama over Georgia and Ohio State in the 2023 recruiting cycle. He spent most of his high school career at Blessed Trinity in Roswell, Georgia, before finishing at Buford. Ranked as the nation’s No. 33 overall prospect according to the On3 Industry Ranking, Haynes was highly sought after as the No. 2 running back and No. 2 player in Georgia.
Over his two years at Alabama, Haynes appeared in 25 games. His role grew significantly in his second season, where he rushed 79 times for 448 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging an impressive 5.67 yards per carry. Despite the success, Haynes is now looking to transfer, and his decision will have a major impact on his future college career.
As one of the top running back prospects in his class, Haynes’ transfer could spark interest from multiple programs, including Georgia, where his family ties and talent make him a potential fit. While it’s uncertain whether the Bulldogs will pursue him, Haynes’ decision to leave Alabama is a major development that could reshape his football future.
