As 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 thirty-first most talent-rich state, so I know what I speak.
Below we examine some of the game's top devy talent as part of the Devy 100.
45. Elic Ayomanor, WR Stanford (2025 Draft-Eligible)
Profile: Elic Ayomanor was not a big name within the devy landscape heading into the 2023 seasons. It took a massive, 294-yard and three-score performance against Colorado to get folks to whip their heads around and look all the way west to Palo Alto. While he was defended by multiple players against the Buffaloes, he made a few plays against potential Top 5 selection Travis Hunter, showcasing an ability to beat the best.
The Canadian product is a long, lean 6’2” and 210 pounds, using long strides to eat up yardage. His physicality and long speed make him an elite vertical threat, and he relishes taking the fight to the defense at the catch point. He is not yet a technician, letting his size and athleticism do most of the work. The foundation, however, is excellent, and Ayomanor was excellent despite having his freshman season wiped away due to injury. He had a quick ascent up the devy ranks in 2023 and could be poised for another jump in 2024.
