Justice Haynes has been a well-known name in the Georgia football community ever since he was playing youth football. As the son of former Georgia Bulldog and Pittsburgh Steeler Verron Haynes, Justice Haynes has been around the sport all his life, and he’s already made a big impact on Georgia high school football. Through his junior year, Haynes has rushed for 5,873 yards and 72 scores. Haynes is also an elite left-handed pitcher with a 90-mph fastball. He also prides himself on his work ethic. “There’s always someone trying to get there ahead of you. You just have to always keep working.” He also credits his mother, Brandi Gowdy, for helping instill a strong focus in academics. Haynes plans on majoring in business and communications in college.

Justice Haynes' patient running style, contact balance, stride in the open field and versatility remind us of Miles Sanders. Haynes is more of a high usage runner at the high school level, while Sanders had stronger verified athleticism and speed at the same stage.

Blue Chip

The top of the scale — national-caliber talent that every major program pursues, with a clear NFL trajectory.

Elite / Top 100

Well-rounded, highly productive running back with few holes in his game. Arguably the best runner on contact in the 2023 cycle. Has a filled, muscled frame at around 5-foot-10, 200 pounds. Very developed in the lower body. One of the more productive rushers in the 2023 cycle. Rushed for 7,407 yards and 91 touchdowns over his high school career. Turned in a very efficient senior season, rushing for 1,528 yards and 19 touchdowns at 12.6 yards per carry. Has a strong base. Runs with high-level contact balance, regularly running through arm tackles and bouncing off defenders at the second level. Shows good vision as a runner, making decisive reads and cuts at the line of scrimmage. Burst and top-end speed (electronically-timed 4.66 second 40-yard dash as a sophomore) are above average but not elite. Catches the ball well out of the backfield as a receiver. A rock solid running back prospect with a high floor. Has a NFL pedigree with his father playing in the league after a career as a running back at Georgia.
