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.
50. Drew Allar, QB Penn State (2025 Draft-Eligible)
Profile: The buzz around Drew Allar has cooled considerably over the past few seasons. A huge recruit and a massive get for James Franklin, Allar’s tools have outshined his production. While some raw stats look appealing (a 25/2 TD/INT ratio in 2023) the Ohio product produced a meager 6.8 yards per attempt. It bottomed out in critical matchups against Michigan and Ohio State.
The Nittany Lion offense has been underwhelming in recent seasons, placing some context around Allar’s struggles. However, elite talents transcend the situation at the collegiate level. Allar still has elite size and a great arm, creating a foundation for success. The tools alone will get him NFL looks. Whether he gets back on the Round 1 radar or falls into the developmental range is the question that lingers over his profile.
