Eighth Grader Trent Seaborn Leads Thompson High School To Alabama 7A State Championship

And here’s the kicker: He threw five touchdowns in the championship, and earned the game’s MVP award.

When Thompson High School starting quarterback Zach Sims — who has received scholarship offers from both Pittsburgh and Louisville — was sidelined with an injury late in the season, Warriors backup quarterback Trent Seaborn took over the starting role.

Seaborn ultimately took his team to the AHSAA Super 7 Class 7A Championship game against Auburn High School, getting a blowout 49-24 victory to hook his entire team up with championship rings.

It’s also Thompson’s fourth straight state title. Stats wise, this kid was absolutely mesmerizing, throwing for 207 passing yards and five touchdowns to win the game’s Most Valuable Player award.

Only in eighth grade, Seaborn did all of this at just 14-years-old.

Man, I thought this stuff only happens when you played video games and acted like you had a career. Even then, this kid is better than my player when I do football careers. My character isn’t out here winning state championships in the eighth grade, holy hell.

Most 14-year-old boys are out here being degenerates or cussing out their mom over being banned from their PlayStation. This kid is out here winning football state championships, and I assume now already being looked at by universities. This is exactly how you’d want your son to be.

Heard that when he got the MVP trophy he handed it to the receiver.

What is an NIL payment, how much is it and what for? Is it from sponsors? If it is from a school, do they have to share it with girl badminton players?

The Supreme Court ruled college athletes cannot be barred from receiving sponsor money for their product/service endorsements. The badminton girls will have to earn their own money by running wintertime t-shirt car washes.

"Throws better than some D1 college QBs. Thompson is 7A. That’s as big as it gets in Alabama."

Saraland won the 6A championship tonight by beating Auburn.
(Theodore, my old HS, lost to Saraland last saturday)

The championship game was televised in Alabama and I watched part of the first half. If I am not mistaken, #6 is just a sophomore and caught two touchdown passes in the first half. That young QB made some great throws from what I saw.

I live further up in north Alabama and my mother grew up across the street from the old Thompson HS on AL 119. My uncle (her only brother) played football at Thompson in the 1950’s and was in the same backfield with Jim Davenport, who was a player and coach for the San Francisco Giants for many years.

My Great Grandfather Malden Roy operated a general store across the street from the old high school. The new high school was built on what used to be Malden Roy’s farm that backs up to Buck Creek.

It would appear that his offensive line averaged 5+ seconds of pocket protection on pass plays and that his average time to release was under 3 seconds, even on a 5-step drop back.

He is a phenomenal athlete, whose greatest gift may well be his vision to see the field and all of his options, but I suspect that offensive line has more than a few Division 1 prospects.

His receivers were very good as well.
