FAU RB Devin Singletary To Enter NFL Draft

Florida Atlantic running back Devin Singletary announced that he will enter the 2019 NFL Draft. The 5’9″ tailback could be in the first or second round mix, so it’s a logical move from his perspective. 

I hope I left a lasting impression on The University, football program, and the entire community,” Singletary said. “As I take the next step in to my career I will continue to represent FAU in the right way and you will forever be in my heart.”

Singletary, 20, ran for 1,920 yards and an FBS-leading 32 rushing touchdowns in 2017. This year, he had 22 touchdowns and 1,348 rushing yards, but the drop in production could be attributed to the team’s overall step back. In 2017, the team’s first year with Lane Kiffin at the helm, the Owls went 11-3 and defeated Akron in the Boca Raton Bowl. This year, they finished out 5-7 and did not qualify for a bowl game.

On his latest big board, Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller has Singletary ranked as the No. 10 overall running back behind David Montgomery (Iowa State), Damien Harris (Alabama), Darrell Henderson (Memphis), Benny Snell Jr. (Kentucky), Rodney Anderson (Oklahoma), Bryce Love (Stanford), Justice Hill (Oklahoma State), Karan Higdon (Michigan), and Mike Weber (Ohio State). However, he has Singletary pegged as the biggest sleeper of the bunch, and he could vault up draft boards with a strong showing in workouts.
