About Russell
Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Devany was one of the more disruptive and technically sound edge players across the valley in 2025, and lands on on our final WL rankings for this 2026 class. He is heavy handed at the POA and plays with a low hat, quickly resets the LOS and shows he can pursue backside and has closing speed and solid COD/short area twitch when pass rushing. He is a high motor kid that is seemingly always around the ball and can quickly knife into the backfield and win with either speed/bend or initial punch and power against bigger tackles. He has been picking plenty of D3 offers and can play inside or out at the next level and should make a immediate impact at the D3+ level in college.
