per Marcus:

Joining the Gophers in January after a prep school year, the 6-4, 215-pound Atlanta native wasn’t one of the standout newcomers of the spring defensively.

Actually, Devers was mostly noticed for his slight frame for a defensive lineman.

So imagine everyone’s surprise when he picked up two sacks and forced fumbles — both sparking Gophers touchdowns — Thursday to help the Gophers take a halftime lead in their 30-23 victory over Oregon State.

“He’s been that explosive off the edge all through practice,” Gophers coach Tracy Claeys said. “The more he learns and the more he develops, the more ways we’ll be able to get him on the field.”

Go Gophers!!
 

It looks like Devers will fill the mold that Julian Huff had last year--pass rush specialist who thrives on 3rd down passing plays. He was huge for us last night and hopefully he can ride that momentum.
