Jett Feeney, Moorhead qb, commits


If Jett and David Mack can do to Big Ten defenses what they did to 6A defenses... the future will be bright. I think Moorhead's 3 recruits are underrated because they are outstate, but they played a 6A schedule. All their games were the same opponents they would have played if Moorhead was located on the western edge of Lake Minnetonka.

All seriousness, he is a good quarterback. He really impressed me in the few games I have watched. How it translates to the Big Ten... TBD.
 


I wonder if he is being recruited as a QB or if they have another position in mind for him. Don't know if he lines up on D at all but wouldn't shock me if he was also a safety potentially.
 



2025 stats (8 games?): Passing 2221y, 27 td, 2 int; rushing 215y, 5 td
 






Moorhead seems to be the MN sports community of the year! That's a partial reference to the state hockey tournament for those who might have missed it. Anyway, looking forward to seeing the Spud Trio move from orange to maroon and gold!
 

Will take some time to adjust from 6A in Morehead to the Big Ten, but all three could be huge.

When is the last time we had three recruits from one school in the same class?
 

I saw them play a couple of times and I thought he stood out. Granted it was against MN HS teams, but he looked good. Hopefully he pans out.

One huge factor is the collisions in D 1 football. Some guys don't relish the violence as much as others. Even the QBs.
 

He's the town next door to me. I'm excited about it. Smart kid - good kid. Dad was a QB and now a coach, Grandpa was a coach for 4 decades in Bismarck. Brother is tearing it up at St. John's after initially committing to UND. Kids just a helluva athlete (basketball too). Only knock is the size at 6'1", but I'm pretty sure by the time he's a Jr., his smarts will help overcome that - what a run for Moorhead the past 10 days.

Interesting question, in Minnesota it is pretty rare for there to be multiple Power 4 level recruits on the same team because there are only a handful of them in the state each year to begin with. 3 in the same class would seem extremely rare but maybe it has happened at some point in the past.

For some reason I think there were a couple from Dallas Skyline about 20 years ago. But that's the closest I can think of.

Eden Prairie had two top 6 in Coughlin(MN) and Spielman(NE) in 2016. Winfield would likely have been the third if he was still living in MN.

Good call - it was 4 in the same class IIRC including the FBS kickoff return yardage record holder

Per ChatGPT -

You’re probably referring to the pipeline between Minnesota Golden Gophers football and Skyline High School (Dallas) in Texas. For a stretch of years, Minnesota recruited several players from that same Dallas school, which fans sometimes joked about as the “Dallas Skyline → Minnesota pipeline.”


Notable Skyline (Dallas) recruits who went to Minnesota
  • Troy Stoudermire – DB / return specialist
    • From Skyline in Dallas
    • Became one of the most famous Gophers return men and finished as the FBS all-time leader in kickoff return yards (3,615).
  • Da’Jon McKnight – Wide receiver
    • Skyline standout who chose Minnesota over several major programs like Arkansas and Texas Tech.
  • Keanon Cooper – Linebacker
    • Another Skyline product who joined the Gophers in the same era.
  • Spencer Reeves – Linebacker
    • Also from Skyline and part of the same recruiting wave.

They were all in same class, per 247. i remembered if distinctly as we(fans) thought Brew’s chili would lead us to a Blue Ribbon (not Pabst)😎 and we would have a pipeline to a stud program in Texas.

The reason two of them were listed as sophomores, is they were Prop 48 players; ineligible to play their freshman year due to grades.

 

Yeah I remember the Skyline link, but I didn't know there were that many. That would be nice to open up again.
 



Having a TD-to-INT ratio of 27:2 sure looks nice. It's great to see the U/Fleck doing well with the MN outstate kids.

For those that have seen him play, is he an athletic QB? Can he run effectively? Does he throw the ball down the field?

He is accurate and can move around. I was impressed with his pocket presence. He ran when he needed to and just keeps the chains moving.

Da'Jon McKnight is a P4P most underrated offensive Gophs ever. Too bad he was stuck in that terrible era
