Four major offers for Tucker's Davis | Football recruiting | ajc.com
Quote:
Tucker running back/linebacker Jonathan Davis kicked off his spring break with a visit to Central Florida over the weekend.
Davis is currently mulling over scholarship offers from the Knights, Clemson, Mississippi State and UAB.
“I think the most impressive thing about him is his playmaking ability as a running back or defensive player,” Tucker coach Franklin Stephens said Sunday evening.
“I think he’ll end up being a defensive player [in college]. He’s a phenomenal defensive player. He just has those instincts to find the football and make plays defensively.”
What Davis lacks in size at 5-foot-9, 195-pounds is offset by his speed.
“He went to a camp earlier this year and went 4.37 [seconds] in the 40,” Stephens said. “He has exceptional talent, speed and quickness.”
Stephens said he’d be surprised if Davis commits in the foreseeable future.
“There are several other SEC and ACC schools that have expressed an interest in him,” Stephens said. “I think it’s a situation where it’s early for him [to commit].
“I think Jonathan is a kid that is going to weigh his options and see what else is out there.”

Has South Carolina withdrawn offer to Tucker LB Jonathan Davis? | College recruiting | ajc.com
Quote:
After South Carolina got commitments from two linebackers and two safeties within the last month, there has been speculation that the Gamecocks may have withdrawn an offer to Tucker linebacker Jonathan Davis, arguably the state’s best overall player.
The 5-foot-8, 202-pound Davis confirmed that he has not had any recent contact with South Carolina, but said that he was unconcerned about his status with the Gamecocks.
“They [South Carolina] know how to get in touch with me, if they want,” Davis said. “I don’t know their situation, and I’m not worried about other commitments. If they want me, I’ll guess they let me know. If they don’t want me any more, then I guess they don’t want me anymore. I just don’t know.
“But I’m talking to several colleges. I want to go to a school that wants me. Everything is going to be just fine.”
Davis has offers from Central Florida, Oklahoma State and Alabama-Birmingham, among others.

The 5-foot-7, 205-pound Davis said he will make an unofficial visit this Saturday to watch Alabama-Birmingham play Tulsa. Davis also has a lot of interest in Central Florida, and he hasn’t heard whether or not South Carolina is still offering a scholarship.

Davis Gets Close Look At USC
By Phil Kornblut
LB Jonathan Davis (5-9 205) of Tucker, GA took in the USC-LSU game Saturday with his father and left with a favorable opinion of the Gamecocks. "I love the place," Davis said. "I love the atmosphere. They have great fans, great coaches. I met coach Spurrier in person for the first time. I met Emmanuel Cook and Captain Munnerlyn. One of my friends goes there, Kenneth Miles. I just loved the place. It's a great place for football." Davis also got the chance to talk with recruiter Ron Cooper and got a clearer picture of how he's viewed by the Gamecock coaches. "We talked for about 15 minutes and he showed me around the lockerroom and where the new weight room is going to be," Davis said. "They want me to play the same position as Emmanuel Cook. I was already high on South Carolina, and as of Saturday, it was like, I can't wait to get to my official visit." Davis also is looking at Georgia Tech, UAB, Central Florida and Boston College for official visits. He has not set any dates. He does not claim a favorite.
