Alabama RB Justice Haynes expected to visit Ole Miss, South Carolina per report

Alabama running back transfer Justice Haynes is currently expected to visit Ole Miss and South Carolina this week, according to Matt Zenitz of 247sports. Michigan is another team that appears to be in the mix for Haynes, who is one of the top ranked running backs in the transfer portal.

This season, Haynes had 79 carries for 448 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. In 2023, he had 25 carries for 168 rushing yards and two touchdowns. He will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Haynes spent 2023 in largely a reserve role behind Jase McClellan and Roydell Williams, rushing for 168 yards and two touchdowns across 13 appearances. He then took on a more significant role under new coach Kalen DeBoer in 2024, forming quite the one-two punch with Jam Miller in the Crimson Tide backfield.

Haynes played high school football at Buford (Ga.), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 33 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Haynes was a key player for Alabama in Year 1 under DeBoer. The Crimson Tide just missed out on a spot in the College Football Playoff, finishing 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. Haynes joined Tide players like Jehiem Oatis and Caleb Odom in the transfer portal.

Alabama is currently gearing up for the ReliaQuest Bowl against Michigan, which is set for Dec. 31. It’s a rematch of last year’s Rose Bowl Game, which the Wolverines won to advance to the national championship. It also turned out to be the final game of Saban’s legendary career before he announced his retirement.
