About Donte
Expert Analysis
Matt Layton | Prep Redzone Scout
Donte Newsome of Huntington Highpoint continues to trend upward as one of the premier athletes in West Virginia’s 2027 class. Ranked as the state’s top athlete and a top ten overall prospect, he showed his two-way upside but made his biggest impact on defense during session one. Newsome has added noticeable mass since we first saw him as a freshman, and the added strength shows up in his physical coverage. Newsome can run step for step with receivers, stays attached through the route, and closes on the football with the kind of burst that separates high-level defensive prospects from the rest.
