Alabama lands 2027 commitment from 4-star in-state QB

Alabama football just got a big early boost in the 2027 class. Trent Seaborn, a four-star quarterback out of Thompson High, has made his commitment to the Crimson Tide official, announcing the news Monday.
Seaborn, a rare five-year varsity starter, said playing at Alabama has been in his vision throughout his life.
“Honestly, it’s always been my dream to play for The University of Alabama,” he told 247Sports. “Since I was a kid, I have always dreamed of going there. To finally have the opportunity to do that, I wanted to lock that in… I want to go to a place where I can compete, go and get developed as a person and a player, and compete against the best of the best. Honestly, it wasn’t a matter of Alabama being better than any of the other schools because they were great. The other schools, there aren’t any negatives with them. But with Alabama, it’s always been my dream, and after a lot of prayer, God led me to that place.”
On the field, Seaborn is fearless under pressure, though cutting down on turnovers will be important. At this stage, he projects as a potential multi-year starter at a Power 4 program.
Seaborn’s high school resume is impressive. He’s been a MaxPreps All-American, helped Thompson win a state title, and has put up big numbers every year of varsity football — a rare feat for a 2027 QB. Alabama is getting a guy who knows how to lead and can make things happen on the field.
