Brendan DeVera was a standout quarterback and linebacker at at Wayne Hills High School, leading the perennial New Jersey power to an 11-1 record and an NJSIAA North Jersey 1, Group IV title last fall.

That versatility is why Jerry Kill isn't about to label DeVera by any single position. "He’s the definition, to me,'' the Rutgers offensive coordinator said, "of a football player.''
