The Path to Norman

Trystan Haynes was one of three Carl Albert (Oklahoma) high school products to join the Sooners in the 2025 recruiting class. Haynes played receiver and returned kicks in high school, but was primarily recruited as a cornerback. He had an extremely long offer list of top programs, including Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame, and more. However, Coach Valai got Haynes’ commitment in the spring of 2024.

TFB’s JY provided his thoughts on Haynes shortly after this commitment; you can find that at the link below.

Career so Far

Haynes redshirted in 2025 with one appearance against Kent State and was named to the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll.

Highlights

This Season

Courtland Guillory and Eli Bowen will be the clear leaders at corner this fall, with Jacobe Johnson set to be CB3. However, after a developmental season, Haynes looks ready for a bigger role and has his sights set on the two-deep at corner.
