In today’s college football landscape, commitments don’t always feel final.
Official visits get lined up.
Rumors start swirling.
Social media reads into every little move.
But when it comes to Trent Seaborn, there’s no mystery and no drama.

He’s not visiting anywhere else this summer.
“There’s no reason to schedule other OVs when I’m staying back and recruiting every weekend and every chance that I get,” Seaborn said.
That’s not normal in 2026 recruiting.
That’s old-school.
Seaborn committed to Alabama back in October, giving Kalen DeBoer his word early.
And since that moment, he hasn’t blinked. No testing the waters. No backup plans. No “just in case” trips to see what else is out there.
Instead, he’s doing something that should fire up every Alabama fan, he’s recruiting for the Tide.
Think about that mindset.
Most quarterbacks in his position would take every visit they’re allowed.

They’d enjoy the attention.
They’d keep their options open.
But Seaborn is wired differently.
He believes in his decision.
He believes in the staff.
He believes in where Alabama football is headed.
That kind of loyalty matters.
Because Alabama isn’t just rebuilding a roster, it’s reinforcing a standard. And that standard has always been built on players who are bought in, not halfway in.
Seaborn isn’t treating his commitment like a placeholder.
He’s treating it like a promise.
On the field, he’s already done more than enough to earn respect. A consensus four-star quarterback, Seaborn will finish his high school career at Thompson as one of the most decorated quarterbacks this state has ever produced.

The numbers back it up.
The wins back it up.
The accolades back it up.
But what separates him right now isn’t just production.
It’s conviction.
It’s confidence in saying, “I don’t need to look around. I know where I’m going.”
Quarterback is the heartbeat of a program. It sets the tone. It defines the culture. And Alabama football needs leaders who aren’t swayed by every outside voice.
Seaborn is showing that leadership before he’s even stepped on campus.
Alabama football has its guy. And he’s not going anywhere.
That should tell you everything.
Roll Tide.
