During his recruitment, Davidson has collected 32 scholarship offers. For Thursday’s commitment announcement, Davidson named Florida, Auburn, Georgia and Kentucky as his finalists.
Davidson told ESPN’s Eli Lederman that he felt prioritized by the new Florida coaching staff, particularly Sumrall, offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner and quarterbacks coach Joe Craddock.
“My relationship with Coach Craddock and Coach Sumrall was big. Coach Faulkner, too,” Davidson said, per Lederman. They really put an emphasis on making sure I knew I was their No. 1 guy.”
