Devy Watch: WR Cody Thompson, Toledo

Devy / By /

Cody Thompson is the most recent confoundingly under-recruited player in my summer profile series. He was a do-it-all two-star-recruit from Huron, Ohio.

Devy Watch: RB Jonathan Ward, Central Michigan

Devy / By /

Some players sneak up on me. That’s part of what makes college football so fun. I have no idea who they are and then “BOOM” they emerge and make their presence felt. Jonathan Ward is one such example. It was early November in 2017, and I remember watching Central Michigan playing Western Michigan in the
