The 6’2” 205 pounder from Weddington High School in Matthews, North Carolina, chose the Irish over a massive offer list that included the Michigan Wolverines, Clemson Tigers, LSU Tigers, Ohio State Buckeyes, Penn State Nittany Lions, and many more.
Has flashed at numerous off-season events. High football IQ, shows the ability to line up all over and can make plays at all three levels. Reactionary athlete who moves well in space and shows good explosiveness running down plays from behind. Strong in blitz situations and has natural pass rush skill. Really strong frame, well put together, especially in his upper body. Physical hitter at the point of attack who probably projects best as a mike ‘backer in college. Can take on blocks, disengage and makes plays sideline to sideline. Comfortable in coverage and has shown the ability to play some safety and even some nickel. Strong bloodlines, father Thomas Davis Sr was was All-American at Georgia and 14 year vet with Carolina Panthers.
Davis is the third commitment for the 2026 class. The other two members are QB Noah Grubbs, and WR Dylan Faison.
