Danny DeVall height - How tall is Danny DeVall?

The son of Roger DeVall and Diana Dillingham Mon, Daniel DeVall attended St. Ann’s Elementary School in Bartlett, TN, a suburb of Memphis. DeVall excelled at sports and went on to compete in Soccer and Wrestling at Memphis Catholic High School where he graduated in 1990. He was given a full scholarship for soccer by Chris Bartels, the head coach of the University of Memphis, at that time called Memphis State University.

After a year at the University of Memphis and starting at times as a freshman, he dropped out to pursue his dream of being a professional soccer player. DeVall played two years for the Memphis Jackals of the semi-pro USISL. In 1996, while playing on the Tennessee Olympic Development Program (ODP) team, the coach of the USISL club Nashville Metros, Rhomes “Zito” Aur, recruited DeVall to play for him. In 1997, the Nashville Metros were promoted to full professional status as an A-League division team of the USL. In 1999, financial considerations led to the team moving to Franklin, Tennessee and renaming itself the Tennessee Rhythm. In 2000, DeVall was called up by the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer. DeVall played 30 minutes of his first MLS game against the Columbus Crew. He then started and played 80 minutes of his next game for the Colorado Rapids at a home game in Denver, Colorado. DeVall was offered the league minimum, $24,000 per year, by head coach Glenn Myernick. DeVall turned down the offer as he was making more than double the money in Nashville playing for the Metros and working as a mortgage broker for People’s Home Equity. In 2001, the Rhythm returned to Nashville, regaining the Metros name. It also dropped from the USL A-League to the fourth division Premier Development League. DeVall played for the Metros until officially retiring in 2008, holding the team record in games played. DeVall is one of only two players inducted into the Nashville Metros Hall of Fame.
