SPARTANBURG – Tavien Feaster was an interested observer of last week’s Heisman Trophy ceremonies and was disappointed that Deshaun Watson didn’t leave New York as the winner. But seeing a Clemson player on the podium for the finale let the 2016 Tiger commit know that he could one day be in the same position.
Watson finished third in the balloting, behind Alabama’s Derrick Henry and Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey, but Feaster is still a big fan of the Clemson quarterback.
"Man, he's phenomenal. He's only a true sophomore so it’s only his second year out of high school and about 20 years old and to do all of that as a young man; he represents himself real very well,” Feaster said after Wednesday’s Shrine Bowl practice.
