Skinny: Davis is the best player in the D.C. area this recruiting year and has the size and speed to play many positions. While most teams are looking at him as a tight end or wide receiver, others are raving about his skills at linebacker.
“I prefer to play offense and most teams know that,” he said. “I have about 18 offers so far and most of them are for offense.”
Davis has offers from all of his favorites except for Florida State and was visited by FSU, Virginia, Clemson, Tennessee, UConn and a few others already this week. Right now he has a favorite with two teams just trailing.
“Maryland is my favorite,” he said. “It’s about 15 minutes from where I live and they’re a good team. After them, I like Penn State and Virginia but I’m going to look at all of my favorites. I won’t decide until after my senior season.”
Davis isn’t sure where he’ll camp this summer.
