Devin Vass (Sept. 29, 2004) is a young offensive tackle with truly impressive, movie star-quality hair who is majoring in business administration. He displays agility, strength and pass blocking, but redshirted in 2023 and did not see any playing time in 2023 or 204.

Vass prepped under head coach Bill Castle at Lakeland High School in Florida, where he was viewed as the 69th-best offensive tackle in the Class of 2023 by On3.

He played in eight games during his senior campaign even as he missed some time due to injury, but returned in time to help Lakeland to pick up a victory in the state championship.

Vass graded out at 91 percent with 16 pancake blocks and no sacks allowed during the 2022 regular season for the Dreadnaughts.

He also played defensive line as a junior, totaling 38 tackles, two sacks and an interception.

Vass picked K-State over offers from Appalachian State, East Carolina, Eastern Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Maryland, Memphis, Missouri, Pittsburgh, South Florida and Vanderbilt, as well as interest from Clemson and Florida. His primary recruiter was former wide receivers coach Thad Ward, assisted by former offensive line coach Conor Riley.
