Damian Devine brings versatile, high-upside linebacker juice to NDSU
In the 2025 season, Damian Devine saw limited game action as a redshirt freshman at North Dakota State, appearing in two regular-season games and recording two solo tackles against St. Thomas[3]. His calling card is versatility: he was a multi-position high school playmaker, and at 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds he has the frame to grow into a physical, rangy LB who can handle special teams and coverage responsibilities[3][14]. NDSU’s staff clearly values his athletic ceiling and competitive edge, so he looks like a strong fit for a program that loves long, tough, development-friendly defenders[3].
