Jonathan Davis
- Thread starter GTRock
- Start date
He has 12 first half tackles. They are getting blown out by Marist 17-0 so he has had alot of chances, but he looks good. He has a real nose for the football, and his tackling form is picture perfect. He literally hit a couple of rb's and reversed their tracks. I hear that he is a really good kid, and I would love to have him as part of the Jacket family. He has offers from USCe, Miss St, Clemson and Penn State amongst others.

I'm not getting my hopes up. My radar goes off when I hear Tucker High School (very bad rep for academics) and Davis (according to another poster so take it FWIW) had academic problems at another school prior to transferring to Tucker. Maybe it's rumor, maybe it's not and he's cleaned up his act - I'll wait until the first Wed of Feb before I get too excited.

I heard the same from a co-worker today who should have direct knowledge, but I didn't connect the two immediately because he called him by a different name instead of Davis at first (Tinsley, Tisdale, something like that). When I said I was confused about who he was talking about, he said something about a name change. Strange.

GTland is right. He is fully qualified, according to a particular website....According to the stats (I do not know if it is official), but he runs the shuttle as fast as Roddy Jones. If you remember, Roddy has the fatest shuttle time on GT, and ran the fatest at the Scout combines. I believe shuttle times are more important than the 40 (straight line speed). I know he will most likely be a Lb, and he showed why last night, but he was very shifty in the few runs he had last night. He does not carry the ball alot because Calhoun is their starting RB who is a LSU commit, and one of the top RB's in the state. However, Davis looked impressive. I am keeping myself in check, because there was no blocking, and Calhoun had no where to go. But nevertheless, he had a great run in the fourth where he made people miss, and then lowered the boom to break a couple of tackles. As a LB he was in on every hit. His only negative might have been some poor angles when Marist broke it to the outside, but overall his form was great, and it seemed that he was in on every play.
