JETT FEENEY
Moorhead • football
Moorhead, the No. 3-ranked team in Class 5A, is averaging 50.8 points per game. Jett Feeney is the quarterback the orchestrates that high-powered offense.
The sophomore completed 26 of 36 passes for 373 yards and six touchdowns as the Spuds (4-0) beat Brainerd 50-15 on Friday.
“He can make all the throws,” said Moorhead coach Kevin Feeney, who thrust his son into the starting role as a freshman. “You can notice the progression he has made during that time. The game has slowed down for him and he does a good job reading the defense. He has a great understanding of what we are trying to accomplish.”
Moorhead made the transition to a spread offense in 2019, a perfect fit for Jett. His older brother, Trey, was the Spuds’ signal-caller from 2018 to ’20.
“We run a lot of stuff in our offense,” Jett said. “It’s perfect for me because I can chuck the ball around.”
Just like his brother did when Jett was watching from the stands.
“He brought out the competitiveness in me,” Jett said. “He made everything, sports, video games, competitive.”
