Justice Haynes has been a well-known name in the Georgia football community ever since he was playing youth football. As the son of former Georgia Bulldog and Pittsburgh Steeler Verron Haynes, Justice Haynes has been around the sport all his life, and he’s already made a big impact on Georgia high school football. Through his junior year, Haynes has rushed for 5,873 yards and 72 scores. Haynes is also an elite left-handed pitcher with a 90-mph fastball. He also prides himself on his work ethic. “There’s always someone trying to get there ahead of you. You just have to always keep working.” He also credits his mother, Brandi Gowdy, for helping instill a strong focus in academics. Haynes plans on majoring in business and communications in college.
