The native Georgian was one of two running backs signed in the Crimson Tide’s 2023 recruiting class. He accomplished an incredible career at Buford High School and performed well in spring practice for the Tide.
“He has been out for a few days with a quad contusion,” Saban said about Haynes.

Saban stated Haynes does well in pass protection with Jase McClellan, Roydell Williams, and Jam Miller. He recorded 7,574 rushing yards and 95 touchdowns in his high school career. Coach Saban was impressed with Haynes in spring practice and his teammates are impressed with his work ethic. Hopefully, the Tide can have him back in practice before the season opener.
