There probably haven’t been many people more excited to become Blue Devils than cornerback commit William Felder Jr.
The third player in the Class of 2025 to commit to Duke coach [autotag]Manny Diaz[/autotag], Felder announced his decision all the way back in February. He made it to campus for an official visit over the weekend and seemed to have a great time based on his trio of social media posts about the trip.
Felder shared a graphic of him in a Duke jersey with the caption “#bleedblue25” and a group photo of him with his family. He sported a hard hat with Duke (in The Brotherhood script) imprinted on the side). On top of that, he also shared a 20-second edit of himself and Duke’s campus.
“Duke Fans y’all ready?” Felder wrote on the latter.
Felder is one of three defensive backs in Diaz’s first full recruiting cycle alongside Kaleb Lanier and Ma’Khi Jones, both Georgia natives.

Felder also hails from Philadelphia, the same hometown as four-star linebacker Cameron Smith, Duke’s highest-rated commitment in the class. Given Diaz’s previous job as Penn State‘s defensive coordinator, the connection should hardly come as a surprise.
