SouthMiss6 Sports is rolling out its annual roster of the top standout prep football players in our coverage area. The “Sweet 16 in the Southern Six” list was compiled by coaches and sports writers who have been following the action on the gridiron in South Mississippi for the past three decades.

Next up on the list is one of the most productive signal-callers in the Class 6A ranks:

Titus Feaster

Pearl River Central | 6-2, 195 | Junior

Feaster burst upon the scene as a stalwart sophomore signal-caller for the Blue Devils last season and helped guide PRC to a 7-4 record and a berth in the Class 6A South State playoffs.

In doing so, the Blue Devils notched their first winning record in 10 years and their first playoff berth since then as well.

Feaster threw for 2,120 yards with 19 touchdowns and added 953 yards on the ground with 13 touchdowns as well, resulting in almost 3,100 yards of total offense and 32 total touchdowns.

Included in that work sheet was an almost inexplicable performance in a 49-21 Region 4-6A win on Halloween night over Long Beach in which Feaster dazzled the Bearcats, completing 18 of 20 passes for 448 yards along with six touchdowns and turned three carries into 77 yards while rushing for yet another score.

Then, the following week, Feaster kept the momentum going as PRC motored into Lee-Triplett Stadium and recorded a stunning 28-21 road upset over arch-rival and perennial state power Picayune in the last region game of the season to secure that trip to the Class 6A South State playoffs.

Feaster shined bright like a diamond in that one as well, accounting for all four Blue Devil touchdowns, running for two and throwing for two more. He also ended the night with just over 350 yards of total offense, including 183 yards passing.

His three first half touchdowns allowed PRC to jump out to a commanding 21-0 lead. It also marked the first PRC win over Picayune since that same 2015 season. And, the win by PRC snapped Picayune’s school record 28 straight game region win streak

Feaster and his Blue Devils, led by his father and PRC head coach John Feaster, open the new season on the road in Waynesboro against home-standing Wayne County on Fri., Aug. 28th.
