Georgia Tech running back Justice Haynes isn’t lacking experience — or expectations. The former 5-star recruit began his career at Alabama before transferring to Michigan, and now returns home to Atlanta with one goal in mind.
“Win a championship. Period,” Haynes told Chuck & Chernoff.
“Bring a national championship back to Atlanta.”
Now with the Yellow Jackets, Haynes says the transition has been seamless, crediting head coach Brent Key’s culture of toughness and accountability, along with an NFL-style offensive approach that’s helping elevate his game.
Off the field, Haynes remains grounded, leaning on his upbringing and support system to navigate the NIL era. On the field, he’s focused on becoming a complete back — improving his receiving ability to impact every phase of the game.
Battle-tested and motivated, Haynes brings elite pedigree and a championship mindset to Georgia Tech’s backfield.
