We don’t know what Davis standout Dax Owens Dax Owens 5'11" | 190 lbs | ATH Davis | 2027 State OK projects to at the next level but we know that he’s a winner and he should be playing at the next level. He runs the Davis option offense to perfection and led the Wolves to a state title as a sophomore. This season, the Wolves are throwing the ball more and Owens is showcasing the arm quite a bit. Now, Owens might not have as high of a ceiling as a quarterback prospect but we can envision him playing several different positions at a very high level. Owens also has the Wolves right back in the mix for the state title hunt this season. He’s a big game player that’s capable of breaking a big play on almost every snap.

Junior quarterback Dax Owens Dax Owens 5'11" | 190 lbs | ATH Davis | 2027 State OK was one of the best players in the state last season so we’ll just start with that blanket statement. Owens was just a sophomore and ran the flexbone offense to perfection last fall. He would finish with well over 1,600 yards and 21 touchdowns on the ground. He also threw for (yes he can throw even though he runs the flexbone) over 500 yards and eight touchdowns. Owens also had one of the biggest moments in last year’s state title game. He returned a kick for a touchdown that ultimately put the game out of reach. And the scary part for the rest of Class 2A-2 is he’s just going into his junior season. He has two more years to terrorize opponents. 

(2024 All State Honorable Mention)

Right after our last 2027 ranking came out in October, we saw Davis quarterback Dax Owens Dax Owens 5'11" | 190 lbs | ATH Davis | 2027 State OK and knew immediately that he belonged, and would debut in a relatively high spot. Owens debuts at #41 overall and it’s going to be very interesting to see how his recruitment will develop. Owens runs the Davis option attack with an explosive but efficient ability but there aren’t many offenses at the next level that will be looking for an option QB. But here’s the thing with Owens, we got a chance to watch him in person three times in 2024 and then again at our January camp, he’s a terrific athlete and can help a team in a variety of spots. The athleticism is there and the on-field IQ is definitely there. He can become an extension of the coaching staff on the field and he was doing that as a sophomore. Not to mention he helped lead his team to a state title. Owens will only help a team get better.
