Experts are shooting off predictions left and right so I thought I would have some fun with it myself. Even though they are labeled “bold” as a headline, many times these predictions are par for the course. So here are my “bold-ish” predictions, some may be off the wall while some not so much. Enjoy!

Values shift throughout the offseason as new information becomes available, players transfer, some have terrific springs, coaches speak on their stars, and depth charts change. We ran Devy mocks throughout the offseason, and we finished it off with the 2018 kickoff Devy mock. Thank you to those who participated in our final mock of the
With the 2018 college football season fast approaching, we wanted to take a minute to publish a few predictions. Last week, we released our 2018 Devy Watch Preseason All-Americans, and today, we’ll take a stab at predicting who will hoist the 2018 Heisman Trophy in December. Brad – Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin In 2017, Taylor ran

No, NDSU QB Easton Stick is not Carson Wentz. Let’s make that clear right off the top. Stick, like Wentz, however, has delivered the Bison a dazzling record, a national championship, and plenty other memorable moments during his collegiate tenure, showing off NFL caliber traits in the process. He’s earned every right not just to

Anthony Ratliff-Williams was an electrifying dual-threat quarterback in high school. As a college fantasy football player, it’s pretty disappointing that we never got to see him play QB in Chapel Hill. We’ve gotten glimpses of him on trick plays but not nearly as much as I would like. That being said, AR17’s future at the

What if I told you that the next Rob Gronkowski was going to be playing college football this upcoming season? That would be pretty amazing, right? Well…the odds say that statement isn’t very likely to be true and my takes aren’t that hot. It would be outstanding for there to be another iteration of the

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. His high school highlights are quite enjoyable. He played wide receiver as a sophomore, catching 48 passes for 865 yards, and scored 11 times. He then switched positions as a junior and was

Shakif La’paris Nyrobi Seymour is a running back from Cleveland, Ohio. Hilariously, Holy Name is where he played his high school ball. Most of his friends call him “Fish” so I’m going with that if I ever get the chance to meet him. As a senior in high school, Seymour was nagged by injury, but

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

In this series, I am going to look at the ‘non-obvious’ players coming into college this year. So I won’t be going through the five-star recruits such as Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence as you will already be very aware of them. This will generally be a look at three-star recruits or lower who I

If the saying, “Adversity builds character” is true, then it should come as no surprise that Hakeem Butler is truly an exceptional young man. For fans of the HBO’s show, The Wire, you will have some context for what life may be like for a young African-American in Baltimore. Butler’s father left when he was

This is the appropriate place to start with AJ Dillon. He’s a grown man. Not sure about you, but we still can’t get over this stiff-arm by @BCFootball running back AJ Dillon. 💪 pic.twitter.com/9ENsDAjYpP — ACC Digital Network (@theACCDN) October 15, 2017 What makes this even more impressive, Dillon was just a true freshman in

“CeeDee Lamb is a very, very talented natural athlete. He’s a guy that just kind of has that ‘it’ factor on the outside as a receiver… You talk about ball skills being able to go up in the air and get the ball and attack it. He’s a guy that he’s going to be able

“Only 5 when he left Liberia, Car only remembers what his mother, Oretha, told him. How he ran away from his father, who had custody and lived on the streets for a month before being reunited with his mother. How he, his mother and younger sister, Blessing, lived in tents in an immigration camp as the

Last summer I took a look at the 2017 crop of incoming college receivers and attempted to project which of them had the best opportunities to “breakout” as true freshmen. I based my projections primarily on vacated production, offensive situation, and talent. You can view last year’s article here. Of the five freshman breakouts I

I have the privilege of studying a lot of prospects with very diverse and unique backgrounds. Very few of them are as interesting to me as Antonio Gandy-Golden is. The junior wide receiver took a very unique route to Liberty University. Originally from Chicago, AGG started learning gymnastics as a four-year-old. By age seven, he

How beneficial is it to save auction $ for Devy players rather than using it during the rookie draft? (@dynastyfballer) Since your rookie draft is already depleted by the number of Devy players rostered, I would spend the majority of my auction money on Devy players. Sure, it’s riskier, but that’s part of the fun.

In 2016, Shea Patterson enrolled at Ole Miss as one of two 5-star QBs in his recruiting class. He sat and watched as Chad Kelly ran the offense. The plan was for Patterson to take a redshirt season, but everything changed when Kelly went down with a torn ACL and lateral meniscus in the ninth
