2016 FOOTBALL RECRUITING ISSUE him on Sundays in a few years. "I think with the way Coach Har- baugh has used his tight ends over the years, Devin is going to be in- credible. First of all, if there's a better blocking tight end in the country I'd be really surprised. What he did for us blocking was incredible. He's the best blocking tight end we've had. "He doesn't get enough credit for how good of a receiver he is because, frankly, we don't throw the ball that much. That guy, at a different school, would've had 60 catches a year at tight end. He's going to open a lot of eyes in college, and they are going to use him really well, especially off of play action." •Rivals.com National Recruiting Analyst Adam Gorney: "He's huge, and if he's going to stay at tight end is a concern. He really can't gain any more weight — he's maxed out phys- ically for the position. A lot of people are thinking he'll end up at defensive end, and I wouldn't be shocked if that was his future position. "But he wants to play tight end, and he's athletic enough to do it, it's just that he's huge right now and can't really gain much more." •Tom Lemming Of Prep Football Report: "To me, he's a five-star player. He can run, catch and block. Concord De La Salle runs a lot, he plays against great competition and he dominates. I loved him. He's a physical-looking kid, is strong, catches the ball with a vise-like grip and then runs over people. He's the best of all of Michi- gan's tight end signees as a blocker."
