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.

Can’t wait until he is in college. If he doesn’t get injured, he’s a top candidate for the Heisman in about 6-7 years.

What’s his TD:Interception ratio?
How does that compare to his GPA?
Or, most importantly, his ESG score?

No disagreement from me. The kid may have peaked early, but it will be interesting to see how he does going forward.

A bunch. It’s weird but then all the pros are the best that the colleges have to offer and the Heisman winners are up against a whole new level of competition.

The greatest quarter back the NFL has ever seen: Jeff George.

Just ask him, he’ll tell you.

He’s has a cadre of really good coaches at Thompson, so he’ll be just fine. NCAA can’t touch him for a few years, so he doesn’t have that pressure on him yet. There is another kid who plays for Saraland (6A) who has at least 14 offers from Power Five schools. I think he committed to ‘Bama. We shut that team down in the first half when we played them, but a couple of bad calls turned the game in their favor. They play tonight for the 6A Championship.

Here are some highlights. The blockers and a couple of the wide outs are pretty good, too!

He’s going to move the NIL payments into high school.

That #6 is an outstanding receiver. He might even make Lamar look like a QB1

“Can’t wait until he is in college. If he doesn’t get injured...”

I’m sure Boobie Miles would agree with that assessment (Friday Night Lights).

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