Williams Jr. is physical at the point of attack, he plays with great leverage at engagement and he is one of most technically sound offensive linemen in the Class of 2024. Devron has the athleticism to get to the second level with ease, he moves well with excellent short area quickness which allows him to make blocks downfield in the run game. Williams Jr. plays with a mean streak, he plays fast but under control and he has the skill set to play all five positions on the front line. Devron helped lead the Aledo Bearcats to a 5A Division I state title in 2022 and he will retuo anchor the front line for another run to state in 2023. Williams Jr. is committed to the University of Louisiana and he will have the opportunity to challenge for playing time early.

Blanton has a versatile game, he plays the passing lanes well showing the ability to shut down the pass and he can line up at the line of scrimmage, rush the passer and make plays on the football to change the game.
