Justice Haynes has always felt a certain way about Georgia. In some interviews, he’s gone as far as to say that Athens has felt like home.

That all started because he is a UGA legacy. His father, Verron, was a principal figure in one of the most iconic plays of at least the last 25 years of Georgia football history.

Haynes had zero questions about Georgia way back in October. That was when 4-star All-American RB was in the midst of another prolific season. He would go on to tally up 2,375 rushing yards on 8.6 yards per carry in just 12 games.

He crossed into paydirt for 29 scores. The rising senior has 76 total touchdowns in three seasons. His 5,879 career rushing yards have been accumulating at an average of 163 yards per game.
