Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 17-of-22 passes for 221 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception, while adding 72 rushing yards and another score en route to being named this year's Super Bowl MVP.
Read moreAs devy dynasty football grows in popularity, finding edges around the margins becomes far more difficult. Your average devy manager can rattle off the four deep of Georgia’s running back depth chart with ease. The proliferation of camps and the presence of social media can make players stars when they are in high school.
Of course, players emerge on the scene every year. Development is seldom linear. Football is a difficult game, and I can say this as a former mediocre high school football athlete who played in the nation’s 31st-most talent-rich state, so I know of what I speak.
Below we examine some of the game’s top devy talent as part of the Devy 100.
Profile: A high school track standout who hit Baton Rouge as a slashing runner, Jackson bulked up and showed the potential to be a high-end power back during his freshman season. Looking to have added a solid 10-15 pounds of good weight, he finished runs with authority despite being one of the youngest players on the field.
While the overall numbers – 31 carries for 165 yards and six receptions for 53 yards – were modest, he showcased skills that could help him gain a prominent role. He has a frame built to handle a heavy workload and combines light feet with the long speed necessary to create chunk plays. He had the athletic foundation to be a star out of high school and early returns show his game is rapidly evolving.
2024 Outlook: Despite a monster year from the LSU offense, its backs were afterthoughts, with Logan Diggs pacing the group with 653 rushing yards. Diggs has since transferred to Ole Miss, leaving a void at the top of the depth chart. Veteran Josh Williams lurks, but Jackson appears best suited to take over this backfield on his way to a big 2024.
