With day 3, the clear most efficient defensive back on the field at all times was Davon.

Here is a analysis of how Davon controlled the game on the defensive side of the ball.
Davon Benjamin Jr I Safety
When we talk about a rangy defensive back who can cover ground fast, Davon already possesses prototypical safety skills that ultimately enables him to make plays in every defensive scheme. While competing on day three, Davon was a menace on the defensive-end eliminating all air traffic from the opposing offense. Whether it was deflections, or coming up to make big time hits, Davon showed his superior playmaking abilities. Staying consistent in his reads, and baiting the quarterback on many occasions seemed effortless. Staying in front of speedy receivers, and driving on dig routes and skinny posts also enabled Davon to have a productive day on the backend. He also wasn’t short of spectacular at wide receiver and in the return game. With success so far and W’s piling up for the OG Ducks look for Davon to continue his dominant output at the AYF National Tournament, and ultimately dominate wherever he lands at the high school level.
