2024 five-star quarterback Jadyn Davis is one of the most sought-after recruits in the nation and he was in attendance for the Tennessee Vols' big win against Alabama this past weekend in Knoxville.
And Davis seemed to enjoy himself.
The talented 2024 recruit posted a photo of himself with Vols legend Peyton Manning, who had a lit cigar in his hand, in the locker room after Tennessee's 52-49 win against the Crimson Tide.
Davis included a previous photo of himself with Manning at a younger age in the tweet.
Davis, 6-foot/195 lbs from Charlotte, NC (originally from Fort Mill, SC, just south of Charlotte), is ranked in 247Sports' composite rankings as the No. 3 quarterback in the nation and the No. 1 player in the state of North Carolina. He's also ranked as the No. 17 overall player in the 2024 recruiting class.
Here's the scouting report (via 247Sports) on Davis:
Already pushing 6-foot. Likely to keep growing. Slender build with room to eventually fill out. A multi-game starter at the varsity level as a freshman. Quick, compact release allows him to spray it around the field. Ball placement a strength early on in his career as he’s accurate more times than not. Uses trajectory to his advantage. Clean footwork. Likes to establish a secure base. Solid pocket presence for his age, but athletic and creative enough to keep plays alive. Can move the chains with his legs. Doesn’t put himself in many risky situations. Peers consider him a leader in the huddle. Will need to develop some arm strength over the next few years, but already capable of making some high-level throws. Viewed by trusted quarterback trainers as a kid that’s well ahead of the curve. Should develop into one of the top passers in the 2024 cycle with the right coaching and mindset.
Michigan seems to be the favorite for Davis, but I'm sure the Vols made a big impact on the talented quarterback this past weekend.
Tennessee has plenty of time to convince Davis to commit to UT, but the presence of 2023 five-star quarterback Nico Iamaleava, a Vols commit, could lead to Davis landing with Michigan.
