Trent Seaborn Breaks Alabama Passing Record With 11,025th Career Yard

Q: With the passing yards record shattered, can this Alabama commit secure the all-time touchdown crown before graduation?

Yes — barring injury, Trent Seaborn has a realistic path to Alabama’s all-time passing touchdown record before graduation. The target is 158 career touchdown passes, the mark set by Jack Hayes. Seaborn entered Friday with 111 and then threw three more in Thompson’s 49-0 win over Vestavia Hills, putting him at 114. That leaves him 44 short. The size of that chase is significant, but so is the runway. Thompson has seven regular-season games left on its 10-game schedule, and as a state-title contender ranked among Alabama’s and the nation’s best, it could play deep into the postseason. A 14- or 15-game season is plausible, which would give Seaborn roughly 11 to 12 games to get 44 touchdowns. At that pace, he would need about four touchdown passes per game. That is aggressive, but not unrealistic given his start: 11 touchdown passes through Thompson’s first three games, including eight in the first two. His junior season total of 35 touchdown passes also shows he can produce at a high level over a full year. The biggest variable is game script. Thompson has already posted lopsided wins, and Seaborn was pulled shortly after breaking the passing-yards record Friday. Blowouts could limit his fourth-quarter chances. Even so, with his consistency, elite supporting cast, and likely extra postseason games, the touchdown record is firmly within reach.
