College career
Felton played college football for the Norfolk State Spartans from 2019 to 2022 and for the Virginia Tech Hokies from 2023 to 2024.[3][1] He redshirted his first year and his second was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5] Felton appeared in 23 games for Norfolk State, catching 67 passes for 1,065 yards and nine touchdowns.[3] In his last game as a Spartan, he hauled in nine passes for 163 yards and three touchdowns against South Carolina State.[6] He was named to the Second team All-MEAC in 2022.[7] On December 21, 2022, Felton transferred to Virginia Tech.[8]
Felton played and started in all 25 games for the Hokies and tallied 70 receptions, 1,027 receiving yards, ten touchdowns and ten rushing yards.[1] In 2024, against the Miami Hurricanes, Felton appeared to catch a Hail Mary pass in the endzone, from quarterback Kyron Drones, which would have won the game for Virginia Tech, but was controversially overturned after replay review.[9][10]
