Every update came from a source directly involved in the recruitment of each player. Contact GunslingerBuzz@gmail.com or @GunslingerBuzz with news tips.

Elijah Haven
2027 5⭐ QB Elijah Haven (LA) committed to Alabama for his relationship with head coach Kalen DeBoer, according to his high school coach. The Crimson Tide offered him a little less than a year before he locked in on a commitment, and his final decision came down to Alabama and Georgia. The Tide are third in the latest CFP rankings and have future quarterback recruiting commitments from Trent Seaborn (2027), Kingston Preyear (2028) and Charles Scott (2028).
“Elijah and his family have felt very comfortable with Coach DeBoer and his offensive staff for several years now. They are confident they can help him grow and develop into the best QB he can be.”

Christion Peacock
2028 3⭐ QB Christion Peacock (GA) will visit Tennessee for its game against LSU on Nov. 21, according to his dad. Earlier this season, Peacock took trips to see Wake Forest, West Virginia and Appalachian State for game day visits, and all three have offered him.

RJ Day
2027 3⭐ QB RJ Day (OH) committed to Northwestern because it felt like home from the beginning, he said. The son of Ohio State head coach Ryan Day chose the Wildcats over Purdue, Virginia Tech and USF. Northwestern became bowl eligible last week with a 6-3 record and also has a commitment from 2028 QB Aiden Phifer.
“The positive momentum being built around the program is something I’m eager to be part of. The opportunity to play under such a great coaching staff heavily favored my decision.”
