Devy Scouting Report: Jalen Reagor

Jalen Reagor is a former four-star recruit and was ranked as the 13th best wide receiver in his class by 247Sports. Reagor would commit to Texas Christian and go on to have three successful seasons as a pass-catcher, even if the box scores didn’t always look good. Reagor fell victim to bad offenses and scheming at times but would still flash his upside through this all.

2020 Superflex Rookie Mock Draft 1.0

*This is not how I think the 2020 draft should go, but rather how I predict it will go at this point in the year*

As we near the midway point of the 2019 College Football Season, it is a perfect time to begin mocking this highly touted 2020 Rookie Class. It has the potential to be a great class and has dynasty owners everywhere drooling over those 2020 first and second-round picks. This is my prediction of how I see the first round in 2020 playing out in Superflex Rookie Drafts. 

1.01 – D’Andre Swift, RB Georgia
No surprises here, even with it being a Superflex mock. Georgia’s running back D’Andre Swift is next in line to be drafted in the first round of rookie drafts and the actual NFL Draft from Running Back University. Swift is the consensus top player in all devy ranks right now. Swift is an electric back. He has one of the best cuts in all of college football, which makes him a nightmare in space. He has some of the best acceleration in this class which lets him burst out of cuts for huge gains. What makes D’Andre Swift such a complete back is his pass-catching ability. Whether it is from the backfield or lined up in the slot, he is a matchup nightmare for linebackers trying to cover him in the passing game. Swift has very few red flags, hasn’t been ridden heavily in college and will enter the NFL with fewer touches than the majority of his 2020 classmates. Swift will need to improve on his pass protection, but he should step into a heavy workload when he enters the NFL and make an immediate impact on dynasty rosters. 

1.02 – Tua Tagovailoa, QB Alabama

Three Devy Prospects Who Need Week Two Bounce Back Weeks

Week 1 of the College football season saw some electric performances by some of the top devy assets. We saw Travis Etienne run wild for 205 yards and three touchdowns, Tua Tagovailoa tossed four touchdown passes, and saw Rondale Moore pick up where he left off last year with 124 receiving yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, for every good performance, there is usually one bad one everyone is talking about. Here are three devy prospects who need a big bounce back weeks in week two of the College football season. I focus on three guys who I have ranked atop of their positions who disappointed in week one and need big bounce backs in week two.

When Laviska Shenault Jr. entered college back in 2017, he was the 73rd ranked wide receiver in his class by 247 Sports. Shenault received offers from schools like Alabama, LSU, and UCLA, but instead chose Colorado, and was never expected to make much if any noise. Fast forward two years and Shenault is arguably the top wide receiver prospect in the 2020 NFL draft.

Devy Spotlight: Stevie Scott

College: IndianaPosition: Running BackYear Eligible: 20212021 Running Back Rank: 3Height: 6’2” Weight: 235 lbs.Indiana Hoosier running back Stevie Scott was not on a lot of devy radars going into last season. The former three-star running back from Syracuse, New York was the 80th ranked running back in the 2018 recruiting class by 247Sports. Scott played both sides of the ball in high school and could’ve played either side in college, but Scott wound up on offense as the Hoosiers starting running back in 2018 and didn’t look back.Scott burst onto the scene in week two against Virginia, running the ball 31 times for 204 yards and one touchdown en route to an Indiana victory. He would go on to rush for at least 100 yards in six of twelve games as a freshman and finished his freshman season with 1,137 yards and ten rushing touchdowns. Scott also caught sixteen passes for 86 yards and a touchdown. With Indiana losing some of their pass catchers from last year, Scott could look to step up and take some of this production for himself. His 27.06% dominator rating was third highest in 2018 of all 2021 draft-eligible running backs. His 18.4 years breakout age also ranked him third last year out of all the running backs in the nation according to The Devy Watch. Scott will look to build upon his breakout freshman year in 2019 as the returning starting running back for the Hoosiers in Bloomington.
