Minnesota recruited him during his early years but did not offer until January. That came after head coach P.J. Fleck and offensive coordinator Greg Harbaugh came to the school. Harbaugh had been in the week prior to watch Feeney throw.
The Gophers now have six commitments in their 2027 class, four of them come from in-state. The three Moorhead kids and Wayzata defensive lineman Eli Diane. Feeney is also the second quarterback in the class, with San Marcos (Calif.) Mission Hills’ Furian Inferrera the other.
Feeney’s father Kevin is the head coach at Moorhead and played quarterback at Saint John and North Dakota. Older brother Trey plays at Saint John.
Wyoming, North Dakota State, South Dakota State and others had offered. Feeney was planning on visiting Wisconsin, Iowa State and more during the spring prior to this commitment.
