The annual Devy 100 is an exercise in identifying the best fantasy prospects within the college game. Given the sheer breadth of the project, it will fall short of a one hundred percent hit rate (independent outside sources have tabbed it at around 98.4 percent) yet can still be a valuable resource when embarking on a devy draft or identifying players to move or target via trade. Of course, you can always reference the full devy rankings at DLF as well.
The introduction of NIL into the college football space has made the devy ranks deeper than ever, with players often opting to stay an additional season to improve their draft stock and collect some cash while they do it. It led to some tough cuts, though NIL in conjunction with the portal has also helped raise the profile of some prospects who may have struggled to reach the national consciousness previously.
A recap of last year’s Devy 100 with links to each article can be found here. Below are first five in the group.
100. Husan Longstreet, QB USC (2028 Draft-Eligible)
Profile: One of the top quarterbacks nationally and a local product, Longstreet was a huge get for Lincoln Riley, flipping from Texas A&M to USC late in the process. The shine has come off Riley’s star in recent years, and his ability to recruit talent-rich California has also come into question.
Longstreet may have the best arm talent of any quarterback in the cycle whipping the football from sideline to sideline with ease and pressing the defense at every level. He can fall victim to his own trust in his arm, often attempting to force the football into spaces it has no business exploring. Of course, this is a coachable issue, and an understandable flaw for a high school recruit who is more talented than most of his peers. With explosive arm talent and plus athleticism, Longstreet is a promising prospect who could start early in his career.
2025 Outlook: Miller Moss hit the transfer portal after being benched for Jayden Maiava late in 2024, and while Maiava acquitted himself well, his hold on the starting job is tenuous if there are any hiccups. Longstreet could be one of the first true freshmen quarterbacks to start a game, especially if Maiava’s turnover issues continue to plague him.
99. Bryce Lance, WR North Dakota State (2026 Draft-Eligible)
