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.

Another Huntington 2027 prospect for D1 programs to take a close look at is our #1 ATH in the class, Donte Newsome Donte Newsome Donte Newsome 6'1" | 170 lbs | ATH Huntington | 2027 State WV . He made an impact in a variety of ways for the Highlanders this season, rushing, receiving, and defensively. Newsome flashed the D1 ability we believed he had after seeing him at one of our camps as a freshman, and he has steadily developed since then, which should open opportunities soon.

2027 Huntington ATH Donte Newsome Donte Newsome Donte Newsome 6'1" | 170 lbs | ATH Huntington | 2027 State WV is beginning to showcase the high-level potential that we saw in him early on in his career this season for the Highlanders. He’s made an impact on both sides of the ball and is coming off a strong week running the ball against Spring Valley, where he rushed for 104 yards and a score. Newsome’s play on defense is what has really stood out in the first three games as a downhill safety. He’s played the run and underneath passes well with his closing speed and should see more pass coverage opportunities in the future against more pass-happy teams.

Look for 2027 Huntington ATH Donte Newsome Donte Newsome Donte Newsome 6'1" | 170 lbs | ATH Huntington | 2027 State WV to finally break out on the Highlanders’ varsity squad in 2025. He’s been patient in developing at the JV level with some varsity opportunities to date, but has high upside and potential as a player and prospect. His Top 10 ranking in the 2027 class reflects that description, but proving it on Friday nights will be necessary for him to remain there. Newsome has D1 athletic ability in our eyes and could make an impact at a few different positions this fall.

The Huntington Highlanders have themselves a special player in the making with 2027 ATH Donte Newsome Donte Newsome Donte Newsome 6'1" | 170 lbs | ATH Huntington | 2027 State WV who has a very high ceiling as a prospect. Newsome came out and put the state on notice at our Combine back in May earning DB Top Performer honors as a freshman against some talented and older receivers and defensive backs. He’s only scratching the surface of what he can one day become and you see flashes of it any time you get to watch Newsome play. He’s a natural athlete with innate playmaking ability that will be scary once he develops his technique and fundamentals and fills out his frame. Newsome has high potential as a WR or DB but will make his debut in the 2027 rankings as the #1 ATH in the class.

Don’t be surprised if Newsome earns similar notoriety as 2026 Huntington WR Tayveon Wilson Tayveon Wilson Tayveon Wilson 6'3" | 205 lbs | ATH Huntington | 2026 State WV sooner rather than later if he keeps developing.

As expected, the Huntington Highlanders have some talented underclassmen who are going to develop into high-level players in the future on their varsity team. The latest 2027 prospect to know from their program is WR/DB Donte Newsome Donte Newsome Donte Newsome 6'1" | 170 lbs | ATH Huntington | 2027 State WV who was one of the top freshmen in attendance at the Combine. Newsome is a long athlete for a freshman at 6’0 160 who had quality testing numbers for his age in wet conditions that he can improve on over the next three years. He did well on both sides of the line at the camp as a WR and a DB and even has past experience playing quarterback.

Newsome was already able to catch the attention of the college coaches in attendance who selected him as a Top Performer among a deep and talented WR/DB group which speaks volumes to his future as a prospect.
