Davis was one of the more physically impressive running backs at the camp and was smooth during the individual drills. He is a downhill runner on film but showed some wiggle on Sunday and did well in the one-on-one period.

Davis led Centennial in rushing with 907 yards with 19 touchdowns last season and had two receiving touchdowns.
He can get to his top speed quickly and while his skillset running the ball is better on film than in a camp setting, he has the speed to be a mismatch against some linebackers in the 1-on-1 drills.

Read EvaluationJordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Davis checks all the boxes as a major D1 RB with the recruitment to back it up, holds 17 offers with 14 of them being from P4 programs. Possesses a well-built 6’1” 215 lb. frame, he’s strong in the lower half but still carries the top end speed and lateral quickness to be elusive and break away in space. He’s tough to bring down with excellent balance upon contact. He maintains good pad level throughout the play and leg drive carries his momentum forward as he breaks tackles and extends gains after initial contact. Gets to top speed quickly and forces defenders to misjudge angles as he continues to work downhill. Flashes quick cut ability both in tight spaces and the open field to make defenders miss. Rushed for over 900 yards and 19 touchdowns on just 92 carries averaging 10 yards per touch as a sophomore.

Davis has run for 892 yards with 19 touchdowns for the Huskies this season. He’s very good at navigating traffic between the tackles and can evade tacklers at the second level. Davis is fast enough to be dangerous if he gets around the edge.

Read EvaluationMatt Moreno | Prep Redzone Scout
Davis scored three touchdowns in Centennial’s Week 0 win over Servite, and he backed it up with another strong performance in Week 1 against Santa Margarita. The highlight was a 3-yard rushing touchdown on a pitch play that ended with Davis shaking a defender to reach the end zone. He has impressive shiftiness to his game and ability to break free in the open field.

Davis is a hard-nosed runner who had a strong touchdown run where he drove his feet through the endzone after a good low tackle by a Santa Margarita defender. He is a patient runner through the first two levels and can turn on the speed in the open field.
