During Tuesday night’s scrimmage at Wren, Tavien Feaster needed just a few plays to remind everyone on hand that he is as advertised.

Feaster took off 80 yards around the right edge for a touchdown on the first play of the game.

“It definitely wasn’t there. I just made a move and I got out of there,” he said. “I didn’t want anybody to catch me and it was a touchdown after that.”

On the ensuing Spartanburg possession, he caught a touchdown pass on a long wheel route.

“The corner, he didn’t try to swipe at the ball, so I just took off from him right there,” Feaster said.

As a sophomore, he had 1,541 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. Feaster also tallied 734 receiving yards with 12 touchdowns through the air. That spring, he won the AAAA state championship in both the 100 and 200.

According to 247, he’s the country’s top running back and the No. 14 overall in the class of 2016 prospect. Scout ranks him the No. 2 running back and the No. 19 overall prospect. ESPN has Feaster as the No. 2 running back and the No. 14 ranked prospect in the country. Rivals considers him the No.3 running back and the No. 37 ranked prospect in the country.

After Spartanburg’s win over Wren, TheClemsonInsider.com spoke with Feaster about the latest in his recruitment.

“Clemson is pushing the hardest. You can tell,” he said.

After his June visit to Clemson for the Dabo Swinney Football Camp, Feaster visited Auburn and UNC. The Clemson trip was a productive one for both parties.

“It was great. Everybody talks about coach (Tony) Elliott and he’s a great coach. I got to experience him for myself and how he coaches,” Feaster said. “I really like how he coaches and how he pushes his players, how he teaches technique.”

Not long after the camp trip rumors swirled on the Internet Clemson picked up a commitment from the 5-11, 190-pound prospect.

“It was on Twitter actually,” Feaster said. “Deon Cain, I guess they were having the cookout, and he said, ‘Welcome to the family.’ Everybody thought I had committed, but I was like, “No, I didn’t do it.”

When it comes to making a return trip to Clemson, he’s unsure of when exactly will happen. But the same can be said for any of his other many suitors.

“I really have to see right now,” Feaster said. “We’ll see.”

Several factors will be considered as he continues through the recruiting process over the next year or so.

“Playing early and playing in a good offense, a good team, a good environment, a place where the coaches care about the kids,” Feaster said.
