Davis was named overall MVP of the day by Rivals and it’s hard to argue against that. He looks huge in person and was as explosive and fast as anyone at the camp. Davis was beating guys deep consistently and catching anything remotely near him. On the rare occasions where defensive backs did have him covered, he was winning 50/50 balls with his physicality.

Westlake class of 2027 tight end Charles Davis Charles Davis 6'5" | 200 lbs | TE Westlake | 2027 State CA announced his commitment to Cal on Friday.

Davis caught 30 passes for 526 yards with 11 touchdowns for Westlake last season.

He also has offers from SMU, UCLA, Michigan and Oregon among others and has visits set up to those places. Davis is the fourth player from California in Cal’s 2027 recruiting class.

What he does well: Solid hands as a receiver, tracks the ball in the air and adjusts to off-target throws. Uses length to create separation on intermediate routes and wins jump balls in traffic. Multi-sport background shows in your burst off the line and change-of-direction quickness—good for stretching the seam or working underneath. In-line blocking is functional when engaged; you sustain contact and don’t get pushed around easily.

What he needs to work on: Lacks bulk to dominate as a blocker at the point of attack— could get overpowered by bigger edge rushers at college level and needs to add 20-30 pounds without losing speed. Route tree is basic; hasn’t shown advanced releases or stems to consistently beat press coverage. Red-zone production is there but inconsistent due to timing issues with QBs.

How he can help teams win: He fits as a flex tight end in spread offenses, creating mismatches against linebackers and safeties. With development, he can contribute 40-50 catches per season, opening up the run game and forcing defenses to account for him vertically. Immediate impact on special teams with his athleticism; long-term, hes a reliable chain-mover who elevates passing attacks in high-scoring schemes.
