Trent Seaborn commitment analysis: What it means for Alabama football
Thompson's Trent Seaborn (12) passes against Central Phenix City during the AHSAA 7A football state championship in Birmingham, Ala., on Wednesday December 3, 2024.
Seaborn has been on Alabama's recruiting board since the Nick Saban days, reporting an offer from the Crimson Tide in June 2023.
Since, the 6-foot-1, 200-pound signal caller out of Thompson High School has grown into one of the top quarterbacks in the state of Alabama.

As a sophomore in 2024, Seaborn had 2,675 passing yards, 26 touchdowns and seven interceptions with a 64% completion percentage, per MaxPreps.
Those numbers have only improved as a junior in 2025 with 2,381 passing yards in nine games with a 72.7% completion rate, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions. Je also has four rushing touchdowns.
Seaborn is built like a traditional pro-style, pocket-passing quarterback, one who specializes in accuracy in and around the pocket rather than use his legs.
It's the kind of quarterback that Thomalla and Hawaii four star quarterback Tayden Kaawa are in the 2026 class for Alabama. It's how the Crimson Tide is reloading its quarterback room in a world after Ty Simpson .
