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.”
