We’ve made it to Part 3 of our five-part Devy rankings series, covering our Top 50 consensus Devy prospects as we head into the 2026 college football season. If you missed the first two editions of this series, you can check them out below: 

• Devy Rankings 50-41
• Devy Rankings 40-31

These rankings are based on Superflex and Tight End Premium scoring settings, and are a snapshot of our consensus ranks as of April 7, 2026. Let’s take a look at who came in at number 30! 

30. Jayce Brown (WR – LSU)

• Jim’s ranking – 38th
• Evan’s ranking – 23rd
• WR12 overall 

Jayce Brown is headed to Baton Rouge after three productive seasons at Kansas State, where he compiled nearly 2,000 receiving yards and 13 total touchdowns. He’s a versatile weapon who can play X, Z, or slot, and has the burst and long speed to take the top off of defenses. He was frequently utilized as a deep threat for the Wildcats, with a career aDOT of 14.0 and 17.1 yards per reception (Y/REC). Brown is a smooth route runner, and his athleticism makes him a highlight reel waiting to happen. The biggest concerns here are size, physicality, and consistency. Brown is listed at around 180 lbs and has 14 career drops, for a drop rate of 10.9%. He needs to clean up the concentration drops to establish himself as a top-tier wide receiver in the 2027 class. 

29. Ousmane Kromah (RB – Florida State) 

• Jim’s ranking – 28th
• Evan’s ranking – 28th
• RB8 overall

Ousmane is coming off a fairly underwhelming true freshman campaign for the Seminoles, relative to expectations. Kromah was (and still is) my RB1 in the 2025 freshmen class, with tons of elite traits evident on his high school tape. I assumed he would be the Day 1 starter for Florida State, but he was stuck behind Gavin Sawchuk on the depth chart. Kromah was efficient per rush, but saw just 72 attempts all season. He now heads into 2026 competing for touches alongside Texas transfer Tre Wisner, who projects to be the 1A in this backfield. As you can see, Evan and I are still very much “in” on Kromah for Devy purposes, but have to consider the possibility he isn’t quite the prospect we thought he would be.
