Devy Analysis
Class of 2013 (Milpitas H.S.): Vita Vea stood at 6’3, 270 lbs., and was recruited as a defensive end by the likes of Oregon, UCLA, and his current team Washington. Now in 2017, Vea stands at 6’5, 344 lbs. and is dominating the trenches of college football. I don’t know what the Washington scouts […]
The prospect outlook of a true freshman wide receiver who qualifies for breakout age boosts his draft stock and name recognition exponentially throughout the Devy community. The work that Shawn Siegele, Frank DuPont, and Jon Moore have done on breakout age and dominator rating has shown that prospect breakout age is one of the most […]
Devin Singletary is a relatively unknown running back in the 2019 class. He burst onto the scene as a true freshman in 2016, running for 1,016 yards on 151 carries (6.7 yards per carry) and scored twelve touchdowns. What makes that stat line even more impressive is that he had a slightly lesser share of […]
Devwah Whaley (@devwah_whaley) is a running back for the Arkansas Razorbacks that will be eligible for the 2019 NFL Draft. He was rated the third-best running back in the nation by 247Sports. Whaley is from Beaumont, Texas and ran for 1,701 yards and 23 TD as a senior at Central High School. His offer list was […]
The consensus #1 wide receiver of the 2015 recruiting class, Calvin Ridley (@CalvinRidley1) has not disappointed for the Crimson Tide. Through two seasons at Alabama, Ridley has racked up 161 catches for 1814 yards and 14 TDs along with being selected as an All-American freshman and being the lead receiver on Alabama’s 2016 championship team. Ridley […]
Allen Lazard is an interesting prospect. A 4-star athlete coming out of Urbandale High School in Urbandale, Iowa, Lazard was heavily recruited. His decision to stay in state and go to Iowa State was a surprise to some and not playing for a perennial powerhouse has kept him off some radars. So what skills stand […]
We recently released our 2017 Devy Watch project. Essentially, it’s a set of rankings and profiles for our consensus top 200 college football players or devy prospects. If you missed it, you can download your free copy by clicking here. Believe it or not, some leagues go deeper than 200 devy players so we decided […]
Along with Louisville, Nebraska, Florida, and Mississippi State all had visits from the 3 star (ESPN and 247) Lamar Jackson. Oh boy, they must be thinking back to how they could have made sure they landed him. Instead, he’s tearing the college football world to shreds in Louisville playing for the Cardinals, and he doesn’t […]
Akrum Wadley has followed a unique path to becoming Iowa’s presumptive feature back in the 2017 season. Wadley was rated a two-star recruit in high school. The fact he received any rating is evidence of his creativity and desire to play the game. A Newark, New Jersey native, Wadley’s high school did not have a football […]
Benny Snell, aka “Benny Tha Bandit” or “22 Shotz”, is a 2019-eligible running back at the University of Kentucky. Snell is an Ohio native that enjoyed a prolific high school career that included 65 total touchdowns and nearly 5,000 combined rushing and receiving yards. According to 247Sports, he was the 74th nationally ranked running back […]
Height: 6’2″ Weight: 198 Class: Junior 2018 draft eligible This kid was impressive to watch! He is everything I would want in a shutdown corner on my defense. He does need the safety blanket of a safety playing behind him. It’s rare for me to be wowed by a corner, but I just couldn’t get […]
Going into his Senior season in Stillwater Oklahoma, Mason Rudolph looks to add to his already gaudy career numbers and lead Oklahoma State to a College Football Playoff berth. About as experienced as someone can be, Rudolph enters his fourth year having already thrown for 8,700 yards and 55 Touchdowns. Looking at last year […]
With the 2017 draft in our rearview mirror, most draft pundits and Devy enthusiasts are beginning to move on to 2018 and beyond. While many are focused on the top 2 Devy RBs Barkley and Guice (and rightfully so), people seem to be leaving off one of the top backs […]
Through My Eyes When I look for a future wide receiver for my fantasy squads, the first thing I look for is how quickly they get off the line and how much separation they achieve when doing so. I saw this in Christian Kirk right out of high […]
Georgia football may be in the midst of a down period, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t top tier talent on their roster. This is especially true at the running back position. The Georgia program has produced some exciting fantasy running backs in the past. Most notably Garrison Hearst and Terrell Davis for you […]
What is Devy Watch? Devy Watch originated as Dynasty Football Factory’s way of following college football players or fantasy football developmental prospects. In less than one year, Devy Watch evolved from a Twitter hashtag and occasional article into this project where the Devy Team watched, analyzed, and profiled 200 college football players. Who is Devy […]
Most of my fantasy life I have avoided the USC program when obtaining fantasy prospects. It was not because they had physical limitations or even had off the field issues. It was because I felt these players were glamor players and not team minded. “Stuck up” is the way I viewed most of their players […]
The 2017 NFL draft featured an incredible group of TEs. The average number of TEs selected over the past five years has been fourteen per class. The 2017 class held true to the five-year average of fourteen. I have done a very basic study of thirty prospects. My rankings consist of fifteen TEs that I […]
In the NFL Draft, typically at least 30 WR are selected. I’ve watched tape on roughly 90 WR prospects that will be eligible this upcoming season. The type, extent and quality of tape I’ve reviewed varies from prospect to prospect. I gave 45 players a top-30 grade but chose to trim the list down to […]
Luke Falk – Redshirt Senior / 6’4″ / 216 – Washington State Games Watched: 2016: Cal, Washington, Eastern Washington 2015: Oregon, Miami, Arizona State, Oregon State The Arm: Luke Falk is your typical PAC12 rubber-armed shotgun shogun. He is extremely accurate on his deep throws. Falk is also not gun-shy when coverage is tight. He has […]

2017 may have been the “Year of the Running Back” with talents such as Leonard Fournette, Dalvin Cook, Joe Mixon, and Christian McCaffrey, but the 2018 running back class isn’t looking too shabby. One of the elite talents is right at the heart of that ultra-exciting Penn State offense, and his name is Saquon Barkley. […]

There is a savvy, gunslinging, quarterback formed in the mold of Aaron Rodgers (the most purely talented quarterback of all time, but that’s a different discussion) ready and waiting. His name is Josh Allen, and he might not be who you expect. Typically, when you find quarterbacks with the 6’5” frame and a lightning quick […]
The 2017 NFL Draft has come and gone. Now my focus switches to the top talents in the 2018 NFL Draft Class. There were thirty running backs selected in the 2017 Draft. Most drafts in recent years had at least twenty running backs selected. I have watched film on nearly seventy-five 2018 Draft Eligible Running […]
