Elijah Haven, a highly touted five-star quarterback from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has officially committed to the University of Alabama for the Class of 2027. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound prospect made his announcement during a youth camp in Louisiana, choosing Alabama over competitors like Georgia, Auburn, Florida, and Kentucky. His commitment follows a lengthy recruitment process that began with an offer from Alabama in June 2025. Haven's decision was influenced by his relationships with Alabama's head coach Kalen DeBoer, offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, and quarterback coach Bryan Ellis. He expressed confidence in Alabama's pro-style offense and its ability to develop players effectively. As a junior at The Dunham School in Oak Hills Place, Louisiana, Haven achieved remarkable success, throwing for 3,931 yards with a 72.3% completion rate and setting a state record with 62 passing touchdowns. He also contributed 793 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns, leading his team to its first state title since 2004. Haven's commitment adds to Alabama's strong recruiting efforts, which include other notable quarterbacks for the 2027 cycle, continuing the program's focus on securing top high school talent.
