Rise: #130 to #102
Donavion was a kid that I knew was going to be right there among the Top 100 overall players in this Class. The 6’1″ 280 lbs DL is coming off a season where he was able to produce several examples of his ability to be disruptive as a 1 gap DL. The stout DL has built up a strong base that has given him an explosive first step. His quickness off the snap is able to be transformed into power when he gets hands on the OL. His range when he gets into the backfield allows him to line up all along the DL because once he defeats his block he has the ability to chase down the ball. Not something you see from many 280 lbs DL. I can’t wait to see what he looks like this season.

Donavion is another DL who I can see making a big jump this summer. The 2028 is now up to 6’1″ 280 lbs, and that extra size is only going to make him more disruptive. The 2025 season tape shows a kid that can burst out of his stance and instantly turn that speed into power to drive OL off the line and into the backfield. The big man has surprising range too and has multiple impressive chase downs. That burst and speed has also helped him be an effective pass rusher. Along with the speed the 2028 has shown he can dip and win with his hands to get to get into the backfield. I can see a big summer coming for the 2028 DL.
