Kalen DeBoer and company got some massive news today when Elijah Haven, the top ranked QB prospect in the 2027 class, committed to Alabama over Georgia.
The Baton Rouge native is a physical specimen at 6’5” and 215 lb. with plenty of arm
and athleticism. And, his record speaks for itself.
In three seasons, Haven has more than 9,000 yards passing, nearly 2,400 yards rushing and 178 total touchdowns. He’s the reigning Gatorade Player of the Year in Louisiana, leading Dunham to its first state championship since 2004 with a state record 62 touchdown passes and 73 total touchdowns.
Haven’s not a quarterback to tuck and run the moment it gets tough. He’s a pro-style pocket passer for Weiner, one who “likes to stay in the pocket as long as he can,” one who completed more than 72% of his pass attempts in 2025.
With all of the success Haven has had at Dunham, Weiner has seen his quarterback do it with class. Haven’s not about attention, Weiner said. Haven is “quick to deflect” and gives genuine attention and compliments to his teammates.
In the last three recruiting cycles, Alabama has landed the 2025 top prospect in Keelon Russell, 5th-ranked 2026 prospect Jett Thomalla, and now Haven. By all accounts, Elijah has a good head on his shoulders and comes in looking for long term development over immediate playing time.
His highlight reels are vast, but we’ll embed the state title game one below.
Roll Tide.
