per Megan:
On his first collegiate down, Tai’yon Devers twisted around his blocker, launched at the quarterback’s blindside and clobbered him, knocking the football loose.
A few minutes later, he did it all again. Both times, the Oregon State quarterback never saw him coming.
The Gophers defensive end burst onto the scene as a true freshman in 2016, forcing three fumbles off three sacks all in his first three games. With a start like that, Devers faced huge expectations for what his career could become.
But now he is a senior, and that trio of strip sacks are still his highlights.
“A lot of people remember me because of that, those moments that year,” said Devers, who has just 14 career tackles entering Saturday’s home game against Georgia Southern. “I don’t let that affect me. Because I haven’t done anything. I haven’t really done anything the last two years.”
