The 6-foot-5, 220-pound prospect from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is the No. 6 overall prospect in the SC Next Junior 300. He announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide over Georgia while hosting a youth camp in Louisiana Saturday afternoon, following Trent Seaborn (No. 201 overall) as the second quarterback to join Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer's latest recruiting class.

Haven's pledge closes a lengthy recruiting process with the Crimson Tide, who outlasted Auburn, Florida, Kentucky and the SEC-rival Bulldogs to the lone five-star quarterback in the 2027 SC Next 300. Alabama initially offered the touted passer in June 2025, then hosted Haven on campus twice last fall and again in January. Haven also returned for the program's spring game earlier this month, days after an unofficial visit to Georgia in early April.

Haven told ESPN that relationships with DeBoer, Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb and assistant Bryan Ellis, who replaced first-year Michigan State offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan as Alabama's quarterback coach in January, were central to his decision.
