Devon Witherspoon was a tone-setting, playmaking lockdown CB for Illinois
In the 2022 season, Devon Witherspoon became one of college football’s nastiest cover corners: he posted 17 passes defended, 3 interceptions, and did not allow a touchdown, while earning Consensus All-American honors and Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year recognition. He plays with rare confidence, physicality, and edge—an aggressive press-man defender who can erase receivers and trigger downhill like he’s got a personal vendetta. If your team wants a fearless, high-intensity DB who changes games and sets a hard-nosed tone, he’s the real deal.
