Class of 2027 prize quarterback recruit Davin Davidson announced on Monday that he’s going to reveal his commitment for next season on Thursday.
The 6-foot-6, 215-pounder from Sarasota, Fla., told On3’s Hayes Fawcett of his timeline intentions. The 4-star signal caller’s announcement in a few days has the supreme attention of the SEC football world, with a list of the conference’s programs going hard after Davidson.
The SEC roll call of schools who are after Davidson begins with Mississippi State and Kentucky, but it certainly doesn’t end there. Other SEC programs in the mix for a commitment from Davidson include Florida and Auburn, with Georgia also having a shot to land Davidson.
Notre Dame and Virginia Tech are 2 other programs to watch out for as Davidson’s decision day on Thursday looms, along with that slew of SEC schools.
The Cardinal Mooney standout in Sarasota has the glossy 4-star rating and, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Davidson is currently rated as the 154th-best player in the Class of 2027. Davidson is also the 13th-ranked quarterback and the 15th-ranked player from the state of Florida, according to those 247Sports Composite rankings.
In just a few days, that long list of suitors, including all those SEC programs, will know where Davidson is heading to start his college career in 2027.
