There’s no doubt that when you’re talking about the Davis Wolves, you have to start the conversation around quarterback Dax Owens Dax Owens 5'11" | 190 lbs | ATH Davis | 2027 State OK as he prepares for his senior season. He’ll be a four-year starter for the Wolves this fall and in our opinion, he’s already established himself as one of the best overall players in the state, regardless of class. The last two seasons, he’s been absolutely terrorizing opposing defenses in Class 2A-2. He’s an outstanding runner, that’s a given considering the offense. But he’s also been able to showcase his throwing ability in the last two seasons as well. Owens is the kind of player that can put this team on his back and lead them to a title.
