The lone Alabama Crimson Tide player currently in the transfer portal yet to make a decision, running back Justice Haynes has now officially done so, as he announced a commitment to the Michigan Wolverines on Tuesday.

A sophomore, Haynes has spent each of the past two seasons in Tuscaloosa as a member of Alabama’s running back room where he has rushed for a total of 616 yards and nine touchdowns on 104 attempts. Haynes is also coming off a breakout 2024 season in which he rushed for 448 yards and seven touchdowns on 79 attempts, while also catching 17 passes for 99 yards.

Prior to Alabama, Haynes was one of the top names in the Crimson Tide‘s 2023 recruiting class where the running back ranked as a five-star prospect out of Buford High School in Georgia.

As mentioned previously, with the commitment of Haynes to Michigan, the Crimson Tide’s entire group of players to enter the transfer portal so far this cycle have now made a decision as to where they will play in 2025.
