Quotable

“He likes playing tackle because he likes the pressure of having to go up against their best pass rusher. He takes a lot of pride in that. But I think he moves well enough to play several positions on the line.” — Richmond head coach Bryan Till.

Scouting Report

• Massive wingspan and frame are ideal for offensive tackle, potentially even at left tackle.

• Earns high marks from high school coaches for want-to and desire to maximize his abilities.

• Raw but flashes potential on film and has good upside.

2021 Projection

Davis is raw with his best football still ahead of him. His first task when he arrives at NC State will be to dive into strength coach Dantonio “Thunder” Burnette’s program to work on his conditioning, athleticism and frame.
