Devy Analysis
“Athlete” Lynn Bowden Jr. was not a player I was very familiar with until the Belk Bowl Brawl. If you are not aware, Bowden Jr. was involved in a pre-game scuffle before the Kentucky vs. Virginia Tech game. It was the drama that got my attention, but it was his play on the field that intrigued me.
Just a week and a half ago was the early signing period in college football for players who had made up their minds on where they wanted to continue their academic and athletic careers, ready to sign their National Letter of Intent. The Vols’ start to the early signing period set the pace for the rest of the day. Most of the early signees were players that had been committed to their respective schools for months, making it known over social media that their recruitment process was completely shutdown.

he talent in this RB class has been spoken of with high regard. D’Andre Swift, Jonathan Taylor, and JK Dobbins are all skilled backs who look like early first-round picks in dynasty rookie drafts. To those unfortunate enough to miss out on those guys, don’t worry. There’s a player who can be had later in this draft who can ease your worries. This man resides in Tempe, Arizona and he’s good at football. I am pleased to introduce you to Eno Benjamin.
Tyler Johnson was just a three-star ranked prospect coming out of North Senior highschool in Minneapolis when he committed to the University of Minnesota. Johnson was the 33rd ranked athlete by 247Sports coming out of high school and wasn’t even ranked as a wide receiver.
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.
Isaiah Hodgins, out of Oregon State, is a so-called “diamond in the rough” prospect for this 2020 WR class that has heads turning.
After being criminally underused in his junior campaign for the Horned Frogs, the speedy Jalen Reagor announced on Twitter that he will be forgoing his senior year at TCU and enter the 2020 NFL Draft. Let’s take a look at what Jalen brings to the table.
On Wednesday Colorado’s talented and versatile wide receiver Laviska Shenault announced via Twitter that he is declaring for the 2020 NFL draft and forgoing his senior year.
Albert Okwuegbunam is one of my favorite tight ends in this draft and I thought I would break him down just a bit since he just entered into the draft. Also, just to avoid typing that last name over and over again, I will be referring to him as Albert O. His statistics do not look great………….
Each week I am going to bring you five players whose stock is on the rise and five who are falling. It’s never too early to get the jump on the future. Let’s take a look at this week’s stocks.
As the college football season nears the end of the regular season, let’s look at my top 10 draft prospects for the upcoming 2020 NFL draft. This isn’t set in stone yet, and there is a lot of football left to be played, but this is where we stand right now!
We break down the best and worst of devy prospect Jacob Eason, quarterback from Washington. What are the highs and lows? How far up does he deserve to be on devy boards? Become a member to find out!
There always seems to be certain schools that consistently produce NFL talent at certain positions. You hear it all the time, “team A is running back U or team B is linebacker U”, etc. Why do certain teams always seem to be able to produce elite talent a specific position year in and year out? Do they recruit that position more heavily? Does the coaching staff just do a better job coaching this position up? Or is it just luck? I think it maybe a little of everything and it goes in cycles. Let’s take a look at some of the current position U’s in the college game right now.
Shane Zylstra is one of the most dynamic wide receivers in Division Two College Football. After his terrific 2018 season of 66 catches for 1,261 yards and 12 touchdowns, he received numerous awards including the All-NSIC First team and D2CCA All-Super Region First team. He was a second-team All-American last year and is looking to become one again. Take a listen to the one on one interview that I had the pleasure of recording with Shane.
D’eriq King (QB) Houston
After a tremendous 2018 season scoring 50 touchdowns, D’eriq King took a large step back in the first few games of 2019. Due to the new redshirt rules for college football, King has turned this season into a redshirt. The new college rule allows a player to use a redshirt for a season if they play in 4 or fewer games, thus allowing King to use the new rule.
After eight weeks of college football, we are starting to get a little clarity on whose stock has gone down, and whose has gone up in the fantasy football Devy landscape. Whether these guys are already on your Devy roster and you are looking to sell high, or maybe they are unowned and will be […]
*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
High School coach was former NFL All-Pro fullback, Mike Alstott
Played at Northside Christian School in St. Petersburg, FL
33 Career Games for Carson Newman (16’-19’)
25 Consecutive starts
122nd All-American in school history
156 tackles, 7 interceptions
Led the South Atlantic Conference with 5 interceptions in 2017
2017 All-SAC 1st team
The college football prospect landscape changes very quickly. Whether you are in devy leagues or dynasty leagues, you need to stay on to of these changes if you want to stay competitive. Here you’ll find three players who are rising up rankings through the first quarter of the college football season.
The Iowa State Cyclones have a trio of linebackers that should be on your devy radars. This group complements each other extremely well and all three play a different style. To see a team with three linebackers where each could be the lead dog for their defense is uncommon. That is the fortunate situation that the Cyclones find themselves having right now. I have been watching a lot of film and games on these guys and all three are legit playmakers. Let’s take a closer look at these three tremendous players.
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.
After what feels like an eternity, college football is back and better than ever. Week 1 brought along some of the traditional blowouts, a few close games, and the first chance for devy prospects to show us what they’ve improved upon throughout the offseason. Jonathan Taylor’s Receiving Skills for one.
Coming into college in 2016 as the 68th rated running back by 247 Sports, Zack Moss received offers from a couple of major schools, such as Tennessee and Miami, before deciding to enroll at Utah. Moss is a bigger, physical back that wins between the tackles and excels in tight spaces.
