Alabama commit Trent Seaborn opens final high school season, nears state passing record

From 8th grade to senior year, Alabama commit Trent Seaborn has been leading Thompson to success for four years.

Phenix City, Alabama – Trent Seaborn, a 14-year-old quarterback from Thompson High School, made his debut as a starter despite his youth. Reflecting on his first-time experience, Seaborn admitted to feeling terrified. However, four years later, the landscape had changed dramatically. In his latest season opener, Seaborn demonstrated remarkable maturity, leading the Warriors to a 41-14 victory over Central-Phenix City, securing their third state championship.

The game, a rematch of last year's AHSAA Class 7A state semifinal, highlighted Seaborn's growth and confidence, culminating in 27 unanswered points in the second half. With 46 starts under his belt, Seaborn is nearing the Alabama high school record of 11,024 total yards set by Jack Hayes of Piedmont. He credits his success to the guidance of Coach Mark Freeman and his mentor, Galu Tagovailoa, whose influence dates back to Seaborn's early years.

Seaborn expressed high confidence in his team's potential, particularly for the challenges ahead. His goal remains to secure another state championship for Thompson.
