'07 PA TE/DE Andrew Devlin

Scout Profile

Pittsburgh (PA)
Mt Lebanon

Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 255 pounds
40-yard dash: 4.9 seconds
Bench max: 310 pounds
Squat max: 485 pounds

Just like recent tOSU TE recruits Jake Ballard and Andy Miller, Andrew possesses the frame that allows versatility in his college position. He holds offers from Pitt, Rutgers, Akron, Connecticut, and Iowa while receiving major interest from Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan State, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Boston College, Pitt, Penn State, Stanford,and Clemson. He plans to visit as many schools as possible and claims no favorite.

Film Breakdown: Good looking prospect. I liked Andrew better on the offensive side of the ball. As a blocker, he shows a solid first step, uses his hands well, and has very active feet. Showed good mobility as a receiver, however, I see OL in his future.

Any relation to Pat Devlin???

Wasn't John Frank from Mt. Lebanon? They used to be a hotbed for PA, similar to Moeller.

I had an opportunuity to watch MT. Lebo play last fall and was pretty impressed with Andrew. OSU material, not sure but didn't watch him that close. There are a lot of Western PA prospects in my area this year that OSU is looking at. Hopefully I will be able to get some photos and some film to help contribute to the site.

By BK...Devlin has been to ND and OSU and will likely visit Michigan. He has narrowed his list to 12 schools that have all offered...Stanford, Iowa, Wisconsin, Purdue, Michigan State, Pitt, Boston College, Virginia, and Virginia Tech.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

He has narrowed his list to 12 schools that have all offered...Stanford, Iowa, Wisconsin, Purdue, Michigan State, Pitt, Boston College, Virginia, and Virginia Tech.

I see only 9 schools listed, what are the other 3?

 

[wadc45]

sorry about that...the three schools that haven't offered...Michigan, Ohio State and Notre Dame.

Devlin and David Molk are two kids I'm surprised we didn't pursue a little harder. Devlin doesn't have an offer from OSU, Michigan, ND, PSU, etc., but Molk has a pretty impressive list.

Blue Chip Chat: Andrew Devlin

Saturday, August 19, 2006
By Colin Dunlap, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

SCHOOL: Mt. Lebanon

POS: TE/DL

HT: 6-6

WT: 260

THE SKINNY: Devlin plays tight end now, but there is talk he might move to tackle in college. He caught 10 passes for 86 yards last year. He is also a standout basketball player for the defending WPIAL champion Blue Devils' basketball squad. He averaged 15.1 points per game last year.

COLLEGE TALK: Committed to Virginia. Had 32 offers and pared his list to Pitt, Michigan and Boston College before settling on Virginia.

FAVORITE FOOD: "A rack of ribs. Well, actually, a few of them. I'm a big eater."

WHAT IS THE MOST HECTIC PART OF RECRUITING? "It was in May, when the coaches came through the school. There were times when I'd miss two periods in a row. It was cool at first, then it got to be too much. You start off thinking the process is so much fun, then it starts to wear on you."

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY GROWING UP? "Any ball. When I was little, from 8 a.m. until dinner I was outside playing something. Basketball, football, baseball, hockey, whatever, we played everything. If there was a sport, I played it in the neighborhood."

PERSON YOU WOULD MOST LIKE TO MEET? "I always wanted to meet Pope John Paul II."

PEOPLE MIGHT BE SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT ... : "I'm a pretty good student and, also, I was an altar boy at Our Lady of Grace Church. Not anymore though, I kind of grew out of the robes."
