"North Texas is on a roll today.
I already mentioned that UNT picked up a commitment from Tyler Chapel Hill defensive tackle Sir Calvin Wallace.
UNT has also received a commitment from Baton Rouge Woodlawn defensive back Devante Davis.
Davis is 5-11, 173, and was an all-district selection last season. He was recruited by Justin Gaines.
He picked off two passes for a team that advanced to the second round of the playoffs.
No other teams had offered Davis a scholarship, but Louisiana-Lafaeytte and Louisiana Tech were both showing interest.
I will be back later with some more information on both players."
AS per Louisiana Football Magazine:
"June 8, 2011 - I visited Woodlawn High School this morning, and spoke with Head Coach Don Jones where I picked up some info on two of Woodlawn's top players. I learned that DB Devante Davis (5-11, 175 pounds) and WR Jamaal Lofton (5-11, 180 pounds) were recently offered by the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. Both kids run a 4.5/40 and are big time sleepers in Louisiana. Davis is a four tool player, meaning he can play cornerback, saftety, punt return, and kick return."
Devante had 73 Tackles last year with 61 Tackles and 12 Assisted Tackles. He also accrued 2 Sacks and 1 INT. What stands out the most is actually his Special Teams numbers:
3 Punt Returns for 104 Yards averaging out at 34.67 yds per return (FANTASTIC!)
He also had 2 KO Returns for 46 Yds Total (23 per return)
