I don't understand why he wasn't a 5 star recruit. He wasn't even in the top 100

I think it was just because ye played running back in high school.

He graded out a consensus high four star, but that was as a running back. He played both ways and was a consensus five star as a linebacker but he was only letting teams recruit him at RB, so the RB evaluation stuck. Jimmy Deets' grades and evaluation of White was off the charts as LB. Devin was really wanting to play RB at this level but after Les and Aranda talked to him about switching, he bit. I think he saw the possibility of immediate PT at LB (because of the empty cupboard Chief left us at LB) as opposed to sitting behind LF7 and DG5 for two or three years.
