Scout Report
The Utah Prep pipeline continues to produce elite talent, with another versatile wing making waves on the national recruiting scene.
Background
Hailing from Orem, Utah, Anthony Felesi made the move to Utah Prep to elevate his game alongside some of the nation's premier prospects. The 6-5 small forward has thrived in the competitive environment, sharing the court with elite teammates including top-ranked AJ Dybantsa and fellow five-star prospects Xavion Staton and JJ Mandaquit. His development at Utah Prep has positioned him as one of the most coveted wings in his class.
Playing Style
Felesi brings an impressive combination of size and versatility to the small forward position at 6-5. His length allows him to defend multiple positions while creating matchup problems on the offensive end. He displays solid court vision and basketball IQ, able to make plays for teammates while also being a reliable scoring option. His ability to stretch the floor and attack closeouts makes him a valuable modern wing prospect.
Recruitment
With 15 Division I offers from programs like USC, LSU, Louisville, and Oregon, Felesi generated significant high-major interest before ultimately committing to Pittsburgh. His national ranking of 35th in the 2026 class reflects his potential to make an immediate impact at the college level. The Panthers secured a versatile piece who should fit well into their system as a multi-positional wing.
