Devy Analysis
On Thursday, June 25th, four-star recruit Jalen McMillan committed to playing football at the University of Washington. McMillan ranks as the ninth highest-rated recruit to ever commit to Washington according to 247Sports. This is without a doubt a significant addition to Washington’s 2020 recruiting class. McMillan is ranked as the ninth-best wide receiver in the 2020 class but would be closer to the top five of my rankings…………………………………………
Last Friday word broke that the Georgia Bulldogs leading returning wide receiver Jeremiah Holloman had been dismissed from the team. Holloman was dismissed as reports of alleged assault allegations were made against him. The team wasted no time dismissing him for these allegations. With Holloman expected to be the leading wide receiver for the Bulldogs […]
Georgia added another high-level prospect to their already good 2020 class last Thursday, four Star recruit Marcus Rosemy out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Rosemy is 247Sports number six ranked wide receiver prospect in the 2020 class. Rosemy picked Georgia over Ohio State and Florida. After visiting Florida, and being a Florida native, it looked like […]
The 2020 draft class has gotten a lot of hype, but that makes those picks all the more crucial. In this article, @AJDraftScout examines Justin Herbert, the quarterback for the Oregon Ducks. Does he have the skill set to become a great NFL player, or is he hitting his peak in college? Especially in superflex leagues, hitting on those quarterbacks early will be crucial, and we’re here to help you decide who is worth it.
After the NFL Draft is over, scouts all over begin preparing for the next one in an incredible cycle of rinse and repeat. The biggest names are always the stars, but there is one question circulating in every scout’s mind: Who is the next franchise quarterback? Who is the next Patrick Mahomes, Baker Mayfield, or Carson Wentz?All this noise and hype about quarterbacks makes sense. Quarterbacks are by far the most important position in football, and a team that has a rookie QB has an advantage in team-building. Teams understand this and make quarterbacks a premium commodity. Since 2000, all but six NFL drafts have had a quarterback go number one overall and only two of those six did not have a quarterback taken in the top-10. On the flip side, twelve, count them up, twelve drafts had two or more quarterbacks in the top-10.The 2020 quarterback group is no different. While I don’t believe it will be like the 2018 NFL Draft where five quarterbacks were taken in the first round, there are some talented names out there. However, the battle for QB1 of this 2020 class has a clear-cut leader:
Purdue is coming off of their best recruiting class ever and just scored a big win for their 2020 recruiting class this past Saturday by landing 4-star RB Tirek Murphy. The Boilermakers landed his commitment over LSU, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas A&M, among others. Being a high priority for Jeff […]

Justin Fields was a five-star recruit out of Harrison High School in Kennesaw, Georgia. He was one of the best high school prospects in ages and tied for eighth on 247Sports all-time rating ranks since 2000, and initially declared for the University of Georgia.
From Deshaun Watson to Trevor Lawrence, Clemson has had great success at quarterback in recent years. They’ve appeared in three college football championships and won two championships between the two quarterbacks since 2014. The Tigers may have found their successor to bring even more championship wins to Clemson. The Tigers have landed top quarterback prospect in the 2020 class, DJ Uiagalelei from Saint John Bosco High School. Uiagalelei is a five-star recruit, according to 247Sports. They have him compared to Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and already projected him as a first-round pick.
His strengths are easy to see, as he shows excellent quickness, acceleration, and speed. When rushing the passer he shows good bend and flexibility. He does a decent job of setting the edge and turning plays back inside. He has good instincts and reads the plays very well. His play recognition allows him to get in position to make the play and helps overcome some of his deficiencies.
Five-star wide receiver and the number one wide receiver recruit in the 2020 class according to 247Sports Julian Fleming has verbally committed to play at Ohio State University. Fleming, who is also ranked number six overall in the 2020 class by 247Sports, had offers from Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Penn State, and many more, decided today on Ohio State. The Pennsylvania native has elected not to stay in the state but instead to play for the Buckeyes.
Fleming has had a very productive high school career thus far.

Tua Tagovailoa is an extremely polarizing prospect in the 2020 draft class. As a true Freshman, he entered the National Championship game after halftime, down by 13 points. The poise he showed in that miraculous comeback is precisely what had some fanbases clamoring for in their “Tank for Tua” campaigns. He replaced a seasoned veteran who had previously been a true freshman phenom in Jalen Hurts, and Alabama has never looked back.
Many already regard Tua as the consensus QB1 and possibly number 1 overall pick in next years draft class. Throughout the last few weeks, I have watched hours of game film picking apart every facet of his game
Memphis Tigers #55 Linebacker One of the top rising pass rushers in college football, Memphis Tigers linebacker Bryce Huff, is coming off a forty-nine tackle, nineteen tackle for a loss and nine and a half sack performance, in his first full season as a starter.

Every year there are a handful of players that get overlooked during their college careers and then the pre-draft process as well. That can be due to a variety of factors.

As it pertains to college production, some believe it is the end all be all statistic to evaluate a player going into the NFL. To me, it is a piece of the puzzle (just like the combine), but one has to digest the reasons for production. What makes a players production in college special? We […]
