The Georgia Bulldogs have extended a scholarship offer to standout quarterback recruit Elijah Haven, following a remarkable performance at a recent camp at the University of Georgia (UGA). As a promising rising junior from the class of 2027, Haven has garnered attention as the top-ranked recruit in his class, with 247Sports evaluating him as a five-star prospect and the best quarterback in the nation.
Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing 215 pounds, Haven currently plays for the Dunham School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, an area traditionally dominated by the LSU Tigers. This geographical rivalry may challenge Georgia’s efforts to secure the talented quarterback’s commitment.
Expressing his excitement through social media, Haven wrote, “After a great camp and conversation with coach Bobo, I am proud to say I have been offered a scholarship by the University of Georgia!” His performance has clearly impressed the Bulldogs coaching staff, reflecting his potential at the next level.
In addition to Haven, Georgia’s 2027 class already includes a commitment from five-star quarterback Jared Curtis, heightening the excitement around the program’s future. However, the Bulldogs will have to wait until December to confirm Curtis’s signing.
Showing versatility beyond football, Haven is also an accomplished basketball player and has received scholarship offers from schools such as Jackson State, Duke, Florida State, and Houston. His impressive statistics include over 60% completion on pass attempts, 37 touchdown passes, seven interceptions, and a remarkable 925 rushing yards accompanied by 19 rushing touchdowns during the 2024 season. Haven played a pivotal role in leading his team to the state championship as a sophomore, further emphasizing his prominent status in high school sports.
Elijah Haven’s journey is one to watch, and securing a commitment from such a talented athlete could signal a strong future for the Georgia Bulldogs. His achievements and versatility make him a valuable asset, and the interest from top-tier colleges highlights his potential on both the gridiron and the basketball court.
