North Dakota’s new defensive captain is already a tackling anchor
Michael Devereaux enters the 2026 season as one of North Dakota’s most trusted defenders after starting the final nine games in 2025 and finishing with 65 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. He’s a tone-setter with real downhill pop, good ball disruption, and enough production to suggest his ceiling is still climbing. North Dakota also named him a 2026 captain, which says plenty about his command and reliability. If you want an experienced, physical linebacker who brings leadership and playmaking, he looks like a strong fit.
