Feaster was initially a 2027 class recruit but reclassified to 2026 in February. He said the decision was inspired by Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams, who made a similar move by jumping from the 2025 class to 2024.

“I saw Ryan Williams do it," Feaster told On3's Steve Wiltfong. "That was the biggest thing. I felt like I can do it. I felt like I was ready for college."

Williams made headlines as a freshman at Alabama in 2024, breaking the program’s single-season freshman receiving yard record with 865 yards, eight touchdowns and 48 receptions.

Meanwhile, Feaster also had a breakout sophomore season in 2024, earning MaxPreps All-American honors with 57 receptions for 824 yards (14.5 yards per catch) and 13 touchdowns.

The Desoto High School (Texas) standout is a tough runner after the catch and possess a wide catch radius. He is the No. 5 wide receiver in the 2026 class and the No. 45 recruit in the nation, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.
