Georgia football offers elite RB, son of former UGA star Verron Haynes

The Georgia Bulldogs and head coach Kirby Smart have offered a scholarship to running back Justice Haynes. Haynes has received interest from some of college football’s elite programs despite being only a sophomore in high school.

Justice Haynes, the son of former Georgia Bulldog running back Verron Haynes, plays high school football for Blessed Trinity Catholic in Roswell, Georgia. Verron Haynes is famous in University of Georgia football lure for his last minute receiving touchdown in the Hobnail Boot game, which gave Mark Richt and UGA a huge win over Tennessee.

Justice Haynes has scholarship offers from Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi State, Miami, and more. He was spectacular as a freshman in high school and racked up 1,754 rushing yards along with 18 touchdowns. This helped Haynes be named to the Preseason All-State Georgia high school football team by Max Preps.

Justice Haynes already has committed to the 2023 Under Armour High School All-American Game. He’s a four-star recruit and one of the top running back recruits in his class (he currently holds the No. 4 ranking). Haynes will have a long time to decide where he wants to play college football.

Hayne’s father, Verron, ran for 738 yards over several seasons in Athens. Verron Haynes went on to win a Super Bowl with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL. Best of luck to Justice Haynes moving forward.

Justice Haynes announced his scholarship offer from UGA via his Twitter account:
