Devonte O’Malley is a proven playmaking DT with elite backfield disruption for NIU
O’Malley’s calling card is disruption: in 2024 he posted a career-high 8 sacks, 11.5 tackles for loss and 39 tackles, earned National Defensive Player of the Week honors after the Notre Dame upset, and finished sixth on NIU’s all-time sack list with 22.5. [1][6][14] He looks like a fit for teams that want a compact, productive interior rusher with real burst and tested athleticism, and his multi-year production plus big-game résumé suggest more than just stat-padding. [9][12][15]
