The younger brother of 2025 Villanova commit Damian Devine Damian Devine 6'3" | 215 lbs | LB Holy Angles | 2025 State MN , one of the most underrated linebacker prospects in the entire Midwest, 2026 younger brother Daniel Devine Daniel Devine 6'4" | 225 lbs | DL/TE Holy Angels | 2026 State MN is already bigger than his older brother, measuring in at 6’4, 225 lbs. and passing the in-person eye test with flying colors. Devine hit the offseason hard, dedicating himself to the weight room and gaining around an inch of height and 20 pounds of mass, the results of which are already paying dividends. I got to see both Devines in Week 1 of the regular season when Holy Angels took on Minneapolis North, and he was a consistent disruptor with noticeable athleticism and the look/play of a potential Division 1 prospect. College programs began to take notice in August, with FBS and FCS teams sending recruiting graphics, and during the season, UPenn, NDSU, SDSU, Dartmouth, and North Dakota have reached out, with the Dakota schools all sending gameday invites.

There’s a noticeable size and speed combination in the first few plays of his highlights, and the younger Devine, as a DE and TE, can create splash plays as a pass catcher, as well as on defense, where he took an INT 90ish yards back to the house and created more than his fair share of TFLs and sacks throughout the season. He’s strong enough to block and create gaps at the LOS against DL but fast and controlled to take out second and third level defenders in space. I love the play and top end speed from his DE spot. He can run down QBs out on the edge, pursue to the sideline and from the backside of the LOS, and close with noticeable pace for a 6’4, 220 lber. Plus, Devine is a crushing blocker who fires off the ball quickly on both offense and defense, and is overall physically dominant, physically impressive, versatile, moves well, and disruptive. I think he’s going to get a ton of D1 attention this offseason.
