Haith doesn’t have a ton of varsity film, but we’ve heard from a couple of sources that he looks the part of a complete corner. He’s opportunistic in coverage and isn’t afraid to drive on balls outside of his zone. Those instincts work well and can lead to huge plays for his team. If he gets some varsity run this season, expect him to turn heads.

Samuel Haith Samuel Haith 5'10" | 160 lbs | DB/ATH Eastern Guilford | 2029 State NC is going to be a household name before the end of 2026. The rising sophomore ATH has already earned his first Division I offer at defensive back, but his impact goes far beyond one position. I covered Haith at a 7-on-7 tournament earlier this season where he found the end zone six times in a single day, showcasing the explosive playmaking ability that makes him one of the most exciting young prospects in the state.

A true two-way threat, Haith excels on both sides of the ball. He plays with a physical edge, elite instincts, and a level of focus that is rare for a player his age. Despite being only a freshman last season, he already carries himself like a veteran and is quickly becoming the focal point of Eastern Guilford’s future.

Samuel Haith (ATH, c/o 2029, Eastern Guilford HS) put together one of the most productive performances of the entire weekend regardless of age group. At just 14 years old, Haith competed across both the 14U and 15U divisions and still managed to dominate. He scored six times on Saturday alone, consistently finding ways to get open and make plays in space.

What stood out most was how unguardable he was—defenders simply couldn’t match his quickness, instincts, and ability to create separation. Haith played a major role in leading his team to a championship run, showing maturity and production well beyond his age. A name to definitely keep tracking in the 2029 class.
