Devy Supplemental Draft Season Targets

By Frank Schook (Panthro)

Devy Supplemental Drafts are Where Leagues are Won! This is the part of the year where you can get out in front of value before everyone else catches up. Some of these guys are already producing at a high level. Some are just getting their feet wet, but all of these players have the profile you want to bet on. You are not drafting box scores, you are drafting players. In no particular order, lets highlight a group of prospects I am targeting this offseason.

Let’s start with Quarterback, the position that offers the juiciest upside in our Devy leagues!

Drew Mestemaker (Transfer Portal) is the type of quarterback Devy managers should not ignore. He has a prototype frame at 6-4 211, but what makes him really stand out are his lightning quick release, accuracy and ball placement. This is the foundation of his game. His 2025 season at North Texas was historic. He set a program record with a 68.9 completion percentage and posted a 168.7 passing efficiency rating. He led them to 12 wins, threw for 4,379 yards, and finished with 34 touchdowns to 9 interceptions. He also showed functional athleticism and pocket awareness to keep plays alive. His headline moment was the 608-yard passing game at Charlotte. Mestemaker earned the Burlsworth Trophy and the American Conference Offensive Player of the Year honors. You do not accidentally become one of only five freshmen in FBS history to pass for over 4,000 yards. This guy is the real deal. Devy managers take notice.

Demond Williams Jr (Washington) is already the kind of college quarterback you can build around. He is listed at 5-11 190, but he plays much bigger than his size would indicate. He is a tough kid with a rocket arm. The processing and decision making are advanced.

In 2025, he started all 13 games for Washington and completed 246 of 354 passes for 3,065 yards, 25 touchdowns, and only 8 interceptions. The completion percentage is impressive -- 69.5% ranks second in school history. He also adds great rushing production. He was second on the team with 611 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns. He even had a historic game where he became the first Husky to put up 400 passing yards and 100 rushing yards in the same game! He accounted for 3,676 total yards of offense, which sits fourth-highest in program history. This is not a flash-pan system QB, Williams is a bankable Devy asset.

Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele (California) aka "JKS," boasts a pro-ready frame at 6-3 225 pounds, and has proved to be mature beyond his years, earning the starting gig as a true freshman over the likes of former 5 star transfer QB Devin Brown. JKS is a gifted player, with a ton of natural arm talent, and advanced technique for his age.

Across 13 games, JKS recorded 3,460 passing yards, 18 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions with a 64.2 completion rate, while adding 4 rushing touchdowns. Earned ACC Rookie of the Week honors for his surgical performance in the season opener. Beyond the raw stats, Sagapolutele displayed the mental processing and field vision required to navigate past complex defenses. Excellent pocket presence, and awareness to slide and reset under pressure. He has a cannon of an arm, showing all the necessary velocity to make pro throws, but it was his footwork and timing especially on back-shoulder throws and intermediate strikes that separated him from other first-year starters. JKS has solidified his role as the Golden Bears' centerpiece for 2026.

Jayden Maiava (USC) is another QB prospect with requisite measurables at 6-4 230 who can make all the throws. Taking over for Miller Moss who transferred out of the program, Maiava solidified his role as the starting quarterback for the USC Trojans during the 2025 season.

Across 13 games, he recorded 3,711 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He maintained a 65.7 completion percentage while adding 6 rushing touchdowns to his total production. Beyond his physical dimensions, his mental processing and vision are critical to his success, enabling him to identify leverage and make timely decisions under pressure. His athleticism provides the necessary mobility to survive collapsing pockets, showing his elite pocket awareness. Needs to clean up the interceptions, but boasts a high national QBR of 91.2. Sometimes he gets called out for playing too much backyard ball, but his ability to extend plays is fantastic.

Now let’s talk Running Backs!

Let's focus on two major true freshmen risers--Caleb Hawkins and Nate Sheppard. Not your everyday devy profiles, neither RB was very highly regarded coming out of High School, but when true freshmen show this kind of production, it’s time to take notice!

Caleb Hawkins (Transfer Portal) is a big bodied RB at 6-2 200, and he runs like he knows he is built to finish. He has enough speed (4.50e) to keep a defense on it's heels, and showcases excellent footwork and agility for his size.

In 2025, he was a True Freshman All-American and led the entire FBS with 29 total touchdowns and 25 rushing touchdowns. That is wild. He ran for 1,434 yards on 231 carries, averaged 6.2 per carry, and put up 110.3 yards per game. The north-south explosion showed up in the record game at UAB where he scored 5 rushing touchdowns. He set program records for total points scored with 174 and rushing touchdowns with 25, and he earned American Conference Rookie of the Year. This is a production profile that has Devy managers more than intrigued entering his sophomore season.

Nate Sheppard (Duke) is well built at 5-10 200 and has good speed (4.52e). His elite footwork and lateral quickness allow him to cut and get north very efficiently. Sheppard proves that lateral agility and short area quickness matter more than a 40 time at RB. Beyond his burst, he demonstrates the strength and contact balance necessary to fight for tough yards and finish runs. Fun to watch.

He delivered a historic true freshman campaign for Duke in 2025. Across 14 games, he set program rookie records with 1,132 rushing yards and 11 ground touchdowns on 200 carries, averaging 5.7 yards per carry. He excels at finding the hole, staying square, and exploding through it rather than bouncing plays outside. Additionally, he showcased natural pass-catching ability, recording 37 receptions for 286 yards and a touchdown, making him one of the most versatile threats in the ACC.

The last position of focus is Wide Receiver! A fun mix of proven producers and high upside plays to consider.

Kaliq Lockett (Texas) is a patience play with a profile you bet on. A five-star prospect and the No. 2 WR recruit in the nation coming out of High School, the 6-2 185 didn't have the production some were hoping for, but that makes him a great Buy Low candidate.

His high school production was loud, especially the junior year with 59 catches for 1,299 yards and 13 touchdowns at 22 yards per catch--That tells you what kind of vertical threat he can be. High points very naturally and has vice grip hands. Shows the athleticism to grow into a twitchy route runner. Coaches have glowing reviews of his work ethic. He appeared in four games and recorded 3 catches on 5 targets for 12 yards, with a long of 17 yards in his true freshmen season. He is a tough kid, comfortable playing through contact and winning at the catch point, which matters if you want to survive and produce in the SEC. He has the frame and pedigree you don't want to write of prematurely -- which many Devy analysts seem to be doing! Take advantage while you can!

Andrew Marsh (Michigan) broke out as a freshman in 2025, emerging as an elite playmaker for the Wolverines. Listed at 6-0 190, he is a plus athlete (4.48e) and has a lot of bounce in his step. Plays with a ton of confidence, especially considering his age. Became the go-to weapon for Michigan this year.

In 13 games, Marsh's game was defined by elite route running and ball skills, as he led the team with 45 receptions for 651 yards and 4 touchdowns. His breakout moment came in a record-breaking performance against Northwestern, where he recorded 12 catches for 189 yards. Marsh showcased exceptional versatility and short-area quickness, contributing as a rusher with 13 yards and a touchdown on two carries, while also serving as a primary return specialist with 378 kickoff return yards and 45 punt return yards. Finishing the year with 1,087 all-purpose yards and 5 total touchdowns,

Marsh’s ability to win with technique and physicality earned him Freshman All-American honors and solidified his role as a cornerstone of the Wolverines' offense. One of the best WRs in his class, he should still be available in a lot of Devy leagues.

Parker Livingstone (Transfer Portal) has excellent length at 6-3 191 and the speed to stretch defenses (4.48e). Bright kid, shows technique beyond his years. Uses his frame well to shield defenders. Was Arch Manning's roommate in college, but he is looking for a new room in the portal! Very sneaky prospect to target later in a Devy draft.

In 2025 at Texas, he played in 12 games with seven starts and finished with 26 catches for 491 yards and 6 touchdowns--Not too shabby for a WR ranked outside of the top 100 at his position by major recruiting services at a program chock full of blue chip WRs. His big moment was an 83-yard touchdown against San Jose State where he put up a career high 128 yards. He averaged 18.9 yards per catch, and that tells you he is creating chunk plays, not just living on short targets. He earned SEC Freshman of the Week honors. He wins with route detail, body control, and playing strong at the catch point. That is a real Devy profile.

Jayvan Boggs (Transfer Portal) is one of the more interesting Devy names because the high school production was outrageous and he was making plays for FSU out of the gate. He has a very well built pro ready frame at 6-1 200.

At Cocoa High School he finished his senior season with 99 catches for 2,133 yards and 24 touchdowns. He earned the season opening start at Florida State and became the first true freshman wide receiver to start a season opener for the program since 1992! Despite battling injury, he appeared in seven games with four starts and recorded 9 catches for 103 yards and a touchdown. His career high was 56 yards on 4 catches against NC State, and he has a long of 31 yards. Shows an advanced technical foundation, with advanced route work, body control, and short-area quickness. I'm expecting a nice leap in production this year. Duce Robinson's return to FSU probably affected his decision to transfer.

Wyatt Young (Transfer Portal) is not getting much buzz in Devy circles, but we at PDS are very high on his prospects as a future NFL WR. Young is one of the toughest WRs in college football, putting together some really impressive tape. He runs crispy routes, gets out of his breaks in a heartbeat and has the speed to split safeties deep (4.48e). Provides excellent upside at the back end of supplemental drafts.

In 2025 at North Texas, he earned First Team All American Conference honors and put up 70 catches for 1,264 yards and 10 touchdowns. He averaged 18.1 yards per catch, and that is not a fluke when you also have a conference record 295-yard performance against Rice. Consistent target for the aforementioned North Texas QB Drew Mestemaker. He topped 100 yards in five of his final eight games. Strong hands, physicality to attack the football, and the ability to create after the catch showed up all year. We expect the production to continue at his next program.

Danny Scudero (Transfer Portal) is proof that at 5-8 175 you do not have to be the biggest or the fastest (4.55e) to cause major headaches for opposing defenses.

In 2025 at San Jose State Scudero became a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist and Second Team All American. He finished the regular season with a nation-leading 1,291 receiving yards, catching 88 passes and scoring 10 touchdowns. He averaged 14.7 per catch, and his signature game was the record breaking four-touchdown performance at Wyoming. He wins with razor sharp route running, natural hip sink and short area quickness.

Truth is, the triangle numbers put him on the outside looking in in terms of potential high draft capital, but he is the type of player you DO NOT want to bet against. Proved to be one of the best college WRs in the country in 2025.

Closing Thoughts

The whole goal here is simple. Get in early on the guys who are rising, and do not wait for the consensus to catch up. Draft wisely. Don't reach. Buy low and sell high. And be realistic! -- I only included 2 RBs in this article, because RB is one of the most over-drafted positions in Devy! Don't waste resources on future Day 3 RBs you can buy for pennies on the dollar down the road.

Keep in mind, these are only a few of the dozens and dozens of players I will be targeting in Supplemental Drafts this season as I build out my Devy portfolio, but all of these players provide a lot of value at current cost and are worth monitoring. So many in the Transfer Portal!
