Devoll grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. He is listed as trying to make the Michigan State basketball team, but a month later he was putting up points for Lawrence Tech. I think he changed schools after failing to make the Spartans. Nothing indicates he ever actually played for MSU.

He married Joyce Nelson on April 1, 1950. They had a daughter and two sons.
