Stud CB has UO in top 5

[Boom]

How is that kid/transfer CB from Texas doing? on the Scout team? Any word. He started several games as a long horn freshman. He has to have skill to do that.

I read somewhere on here that he was scout team DPOTW 2 out of the last 3 weeks

I have feeling that kid is going to be an absolute stud!

8th overall db coming out of highschool

Davis has the size and physical style to play safety and the range, recovery speed and coverage skills to play cornerback. He is tall, well-built and uses his bulk and strength effectively to blow up ball carriers in run support. Has great instincts and a nose for the ball. Plants and drives hard when facing perimeter runs as a corner, and gets over trash with sharp pursuit angles when running the alleys as a safety. He's a strong tackler who runs through on contact and is reliable in the open field. Has somewhat raw coverage skills, but flashes the tools to develop into a good cover corner. Shows aggressiveness in press coverage and great recovery speed when beaten off the line. Can track the deep throw. Follows proper technique when riding a receiver's hip, staying between the ball and man and playing the ball when it's in the air. Knows how to high-point the ball while maintaining proper position on the receiver. Should match up well against today's bigger college receivers in jump-ball situations. Fares best in zone coverage. Could excel as a Cover 2 cornerback, relying on his great range and rare closing burst to blanket his underneath zone. Shows excellent blitz ability: a quick first step and the ability to reach top speed instantly. Can deliver high-impact hits and make plays when turned loose off the edge. Has trouble consistently delivering a jam in press coverage. His flexibility and lateral quickness when mirroring at cornerback is a concern. Needs to more consistently bend and sink in his pedal to assist his transitional quickness against vertical routes. Davis has an excellent combination of instincts, energy and physical tools as a defensive back. His scheme versatility will be highly coveted by college programs. His great special teams ability only adds to his upside

This evaluation immediately makes me think of Patrick Chung.

I thought that the coaches said Davis was also going to be tried at S to provide depth and give him an opportunity to play anywhere in the secondary if needed.

He is red shirting this year and had a redshirt year available because he played at UT as a true freshman. He will be a redishirt sophomore next year.
