The Elite 11 Finals, a showcase that gathers the nation’s most coveted high school quarterbacks, recently convened in Manhattan Beach, California, drawing a field of twenty of the country’s top prospects.
Among the participants, Trent Seaborn, a four‑star recruit listed as the No. 14 quarterback by 247Sports, seized the spotlight with a near‑perfect Pro Day showing, posting a 44‑point score out of 60 and delivering four touchdown passes during a seven‑on‑seven session that spanned just twelve minutes.
His poise under pressure was amplified by four years at Thompson High School, an AHSAA 7A powerhouse, where he honed a repertoire that includes precise short‑range throws and a knack for finding the end zone on nearly every drive.
Elijah Haven, meanwhile, displayed the raw arm strength that earned him a spot among the Crimson Tide’s commitments, but his execution was uneven; a few overthrows and a lack of polish in timing left observers wondering whether his ranking might slip as the senior season approaches.
A Promising Outlook
Both players have expressed enthusiasm about their futures with the Crimson Tide, citing the program’s legacy and the opportunity to shape the next chapter of Alabama football. As they return to their high school campaigns, the feedback gathered in California will inform their development and that of the recruits they hope to bring to campus.
