Just yesterday, we dove into the buzz around 2028 five-star quarterback Neimann Lawrence, who has Kentucky in his top 10. Now, we're back at it with another exciting prospect.
This time, it's Davin Davidson, a 2027 four-star quarterback, who has Kentucky on his radar.
Davin Davidson's Top Eight
Hailing from Cardinal Mooney, Davidson is making waves as a standout four-star quarterback in the class of 2027, according to 247Sports. Here's what their scouting report highlights about the Florida phenom:
Davidson is a towering quarterback with a powerful arm that's coming into its own. He led his school to a Florida 2A championship as a junior and really impressed at the Elite 11 Miami, earning 'Alpha Dog' honors.
His fast, hard throws come from a high release point, which is unique for someone verified at over 6-foot-6. He covers ground efficiently with his drop steps and sets a solid base before targeting his receivers.
While he's still refining his touch and pacing, his misses are generally safe, minimizing risk. He adds value to the rushing game with his power-run style but shines as a pocket passer who can extend plays with mobility.
With continued development, Davidson has the potential to emerge as a field general at the Power Four level.
This foundation is something Kentucky's staff, including Will Stein and Joe Sloan, can definitely build on.
Davidson's Unique Height
Standing at 6-foot-6, Davidson's height is certainly a talking point. It's not typical for a top quarterback prospect, but watching his tape reveals why 247Sports is so high on him.
He possesses a rocket arm and reads the field with impressive maturity for his age. While his height might raise concerns about potential injuries in the rough-and-tumble SEC, there's no questioning his raw talent. His top eight schools-Auburn, Georgia, Florida, Notre Dame, Miami, Virginia Tech, and Mississippi State-speak volumes about his abilities.
Seeing Kentucky consistently in the mix for elite high school quarterbacks is thrilling. It's not just about the upcoming season, with Notre Dame transfer Kenny Minchey at the helm, but about the program's future.
The coaching staff promised to elevate recruiting, and right now, they're delivering on that promise.
