Gorney’s Take: When Ethan “Boobie” Feaster showed up at the Elite 11 two summers ago to work out for the top quarterbacks in the country, it was clear we needed to find out who this kid was. He already had size, great hands, superb route-running and speed. Plus, Feaster carried himself like he wanted to prove he was the next superstar.
Since that time, that’s what the DeSoto, Texas, five-star receiver has done whether at the Rivals Five-Star against older competition last summer or this season when he finished with more than 800 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns alongside four-star SMU signee Daylon Singleton, who ate up a lot of receiving stats as well.
Texas is a major standout for Feaster with LSU, Texas A&M and others involved.
Gorney’s Take: Duvay Williams was really impressive during his sophomore season at Gardena (Calif.) Serra. Then, at a recent workout in Southern California that brought together top prospects from California and the Midwest, Williams was incredible in coverage.
The new five-star prospect is so fluid and so smooth in his backpedal and he can turn and run with any receiver in the country. There is an endless energy to his game. He’s constantly moving with purpose and his athleticism is off the charts. Williams is skinny but he’s athletic, bouncy and has length among all the other aspects of an elite cornerback.
USC is the frontrunner but UCLA impressed him recently. Georgia, Alabama, Texas A&M, Oregon, Texas and many others are involved.
Gorney’s Take: Havon Finney does everything for his Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon team. Whether it’s at cornerback or a lethal return specialist, the new five-star uses his length and athletic ability to his advantage all over the field. He’s most special on defense where he can jam at the line, play off coverage and make a play on the ball, high point it or use his length to knock passes down across the middle.
If there is a mix between five-stars Dijon Lee Jr. (Alabama) and DJ Pickett (LSU) it would be Finney, who holds LSU in high regard because of its defensive back tradition. Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M, USC, Georgia and others are still in the race.
