He’s not 6ft tall like he’s current listed as, but he can play.

I respectfully disagree with the Gareon Conley comparison after seeing both play in person.

Under rated and give me a kid that wants an offer so bad he cries when he gets it, every time.

Can you share your thoughts on him as a player? Highlight reels only show so much so anything you think would be appreciated

Birm says 6'0. Devonta himself says between 6'0 and 6'1. Maybe he's added an inch since the season?

I think he’s really good. Would probably need a redshirt year.

Change of direction is really good. Fluid motion, but not too explosive. Really, really physical for his size. (Or the size I saw him, at least.) They played a ton of zone when I saw them and he looked really comfortable. Didn’t get a chance to see too much turn & run, but he looks like it wouldn’t be an issue.

I can definitely see that he’s watched Denzel Ward. He’s not as fast/athletic as Denzel. But he’s got that same mentality.
