While Lassiter may be undersized by prototypical standards, he compensates with explosiveness, quick decision-making and physical play. His highlights showcase his ability to disrupt the line of scrimmage and finish plays with authority. I’m impressed with Lassiter’s timing when it comes to blitzing.
What I’d like to see from him this season: I’d like to see more sideline-to-sideline plays that’ll display more of his range. Wouldn’t mind a few plays of him in man-coverage. Lassiter is a talented run-stopper and interior blitzer and should make an even bigger impact for St. Frances Academy this season.

Read EvaluationCorey Bailey | Prep Redzone Scout
Lassiter is a hard-hitting backer who’s becoming an enforcer in the center of this SFA defense. He has great size and puts it all behind his pads; he fly’s around and makes plays in the run and is competitive in the pass game. This season he forced a couple of fumbles on contact and even had an interception. He’s an athletic run stopping machine and should be on you radar for a strong defensive prospect. Devan currently holds one offer from Boston College, with no doubt that he’ll be a D1 prospect with multiple offers in a few years.
