Trent Seaborn became the first eighth-grader to ever start in the Alabama Class 7A state championship game Wednesday night, then went out and threw five touchdowns to lead Thompson (Alabaster) to its fourth straight title with a 49-24 win over Auburn.

Seaborn was 12 of 14 for 201 yards and five scores as the Warriors won their fourth postseason game in as many weeks. The young signal caller completed his first seven passes and after three possessions Thompson held a 21-0 lead.

An 8th grader in high school? Is he the Alabama Doogie Howser of football?

8th graders can play high school ball in alabama. I know it was a thing in baseball

I don’t know the rules in Alabama, but I think you can only play four years of “high school” football in Texas, so I would think if this happened here, that would mean he burned one of the four. Some 40 years ago, Brownsboro had a kid (George Cumby) mature enough to play on the varsity as an 8th grader, so he couldn’t play senior year. He transferred to Gorman in Tyler, I guess hoping no one would notice. He wrecked shop, including a big win over Waco Reicher for district. Reicher called foul, Cumby was ruled ineligible and they actually replayed the game without him: Reicher destroyed Gorman in the rematch. Cumby went on to Oklahoma and the Packers (The Fridge ran over him in a Monday night game).

it's weird to see a QB stepping into his deep throws instead of casually side arm flipping it the downfield. where downfield? downfield.

Here.

He throws a really nice ball, for a junior or senior in high school. Yet he's barely had his first case of acne or figured out the real importance of his right hand.

Damn impressive, no two ways about it.

I hear AJ Milwee has purchased an RV site on the middle school grounds.

Broadcast says he is 14 years old. That is pretty impressive honestly.

I was guessing 26, with two kids and a 3rd on the way. Not the oldest guy on the field, but not the youngest either.

I was destined to be starting QB for the Cowboys until that fateful day. Though it was actually my left hand and, to be fair, that career is still going strong decades later.

The QB on my eight grade team was almost as tall as I was. He didn’t grow another inch. I grew seven. 
 

In retrospect, I think he probably already had a receding hairline. Good times.
