Haven is one of two Alabama 2027 quarterback pledges participating in this year’s event. Trent Seaborn is also participating, but he did not make the top 11 after day one. However, Seaborn still has two more days to get on the board.
Trae Taylor, who is committed to Nebraska, came in at No. 1 in the official rankings. He was followed by LSU quarterback commit, Peyton Houston.
At 6-foot-5, Haven passes the eye test immediately when he walks onto the field.

It was clear his effortless release of the football was on full display through multiple drills on day one. The ball appeared to explode out of his hands at times.
Alabama commit Elijah Haven sure does pass the eye test. He’s had a strong showing on night 1 of the Elite 11 Finals @teamfbseven pic.twitter.com/5jV2eALTU3
