Nate with another great tip, thanks. This one is excited. Davis is some serious talent, hopefully he can stay out of trouble.

Sounds like another Woods.

a DUI is much different than murder

Thanks for the info! This is a huge get if...

Will he have 4 seasons as a duck? I just hope he stays out of trouble.

[briarduck]

Great add and the fact that he can play both Safety and CB is even greater!

GO DUCKS!!

No, he will have 4 to play 3, he played in every game last year for Texas before being suspended before the CCG.

Also in the article I read they said he had a controlled substance. I'm all for giving a kid a second chance, as long as he knows his leash is short and he'll be gone if he messes up. Really though how hard is it to stay out of trouble? 95% of kids manage to do just that. So be smart Marcus, and welcome to UO, don't drive drunk get yourself a friend who doesn't like to drink to much and make him drive you everywhere on Friday/Sat nights.

Thanks, sounds like a huge get. Always important for Oregon to add defense. With guys like Davis, Harris and Mathis, our secondary should be set for the next few years.

He graduated high school early and enrolled at UT for their spring work out. Seems like a bright kid.....hopefully his troubles are behind him now......

FRESHMAN (2009)
Appeared in five games at defensive back and on special teams ... has four tackles, including two on special teams, one sack and one TFL on the season ... registered two tackles, one sack and one TFL at Wyoming ... notched two tackles versus UTEP.

Playing early at Texas is pretty impressive.

So I'm guessing he will be red shirting this year?

Sounds like a talented guy who just lost his way a bit once he got to college. It seems to happen a lot with first-year college athletes as it's usually their first time being by themselves for an extended time. If anyone can help lay down the law and provide guidance for him, it's Chip and John Neal.

For such a young player to get so much PT at Texas speaks volumes about his talent level. Hopefully, he'll take better advantage of this second opportunity than some others have.

Any chance he could play WR?

We now have 3 Army All Americans in the secondary..... and Terrance Mitchel looks to be as good or better..... future looks bright.

When it comes to duck football, we have so many versatile players that could play a variety of positions. So yes there's a chance he could play WR, surely. However, I know the coaches love the talent he brings to the table, and they said he reminds them of Patrick Chung. That's saying a lot, and right now he's going to playing safety/nickel corner.
