Haynes is ranked No. 50 overall in the class by the 247Sports
composite, and the No. 4 running back.
The 5-foot-10, 200-pound Haynes hails from Buford, Ga. The
Crimson Tide beat out a list of other schools that included
rival Georgia, Florida and Ohio State.
Making it sweeter for Alabama is the fact that Haynes' father,
Verron Haynes, played running back for Georgia. The elder Haynes
was a fifth-round draft pick in 2002 and saw action in 68 NFL
games for the Pittsburgh Steelers (2002-07) and Atlanta Falcons
(2009).
Alabama is still building its 2023 recruiting class, which is
headlined by five-star cornerbacks Tony Mitchell and Jahlil
Hurley but ranks just 11th nationally on 247Sports as of Sunday
night.
