'18 ATH Kevyon Davis

[AustinFromUNT]

He is going to announce his decision on Tuesday and sign on Wednesday per 247. I don’t have as great of a feeling about it now as this is coming after his Illinois official.

Illinois is pushing hard for him. His twitter mentions are flooded with Illini fans. Doesn't look promising but I could be wrong

Keyvon is definitely having a good time with this just looking at his twitter

Very good get.  Welcome to the Mean Green Family. 

[Mean Green 93-98]

Great news--welcome Kevyon!

[Mad Hatter]

Way to go KD!  Great pick up!!

[emmitt01]

Boom!

 

Also, did anyone notice the first frame looks like he's standing in Fouts?  How lucky are we to now play in a place that isn't mistaken for Ennis HS

[MeanGreenTexan]

Between Davis & Williams (and possibly Gibbs, if he winds up playing S here), we're going to be solid at Safety for a long time.

This is the kid that needs to play the nickel. Bigger, Faster, better athlete than what we have there now.

Yep.  Was thinking the same thing, if that Nickel spot is where Kevyon winds up.   

As good as Kevyon looks on film, Tyreke was just as good, and has a year of rotation under his belt.   Preston needs to work hard to keep his job.   Having 2 guys with the last name Davis playing the same position will be confusing.

[Texas Stranger]

Good Call.  I spent 2 winters about 20 miles from Champaign.  You don't want none of that.

[UNTLifer]

I was surprised Davis didn't play more this year.  It was immediately evident when he was on the field.  Young man is always around the ball.

@TheReal_jayD Davis had come to a game during the season with a teammate that was/is committed to ArkState (was a CB) that we thought may/could potentially flip I had thought?

yeah i believe he had grades or perfomance issues. unt never offered and he is headed to midwestern state

[MeanGreen13]

I think this kid could potentially start for us next year... we will see what Mr. Robinson and Mr. Sanders have to say about that.  Mr. Muhammad's spot isn't completely safe either as he got worked down the field numerous times this year. I LOVE the idea of competition for spots in the DBs. Brooks, Hall, Roberts, Johnson, and Moore will likely compete for PT at corner. Preston, Davis, and Fernandez (remember he started as a RS frosh a couple years back) for Nickle... I think there is some competition to be had in the backfield! 

I totally forgot about Williams coming in as well... we should see steady improvement from this group over the coming years!
