“It was a great experience getting to meet with all three coaches — the OC, the head coach and the quarterbacks coach,” Davis said, referring to Vols offensive coordinator
Alex Golesh, quarterbacks coach
Joey Halzle and Heupel.
“It was great for me to get in there and just put a face to a voice, and watch some clips of ball with them and just interact with the whole coaching staff in general.”
The 6-foot-1, 187-pound Davis lived in Murfreesboro, Tenn., for about a year while he was in middle school before moving to the Charlotte, N.C., area, and he attended a youth camp at Tennessee under Pruitt. But he didn’t hesitate to visit the Vols again after getting an offer from them a little more than two months ago.
Davis said he originally planned to make the trip to Knoxville last month before a youth camp at his high school forced him to reschedule. He finally made it there Wednesday, and he wasn’t disappointed.
“I saw the
Peyton Manning Room,” he said. “That was probably my favorite room by far, being that that’s, like, the GOAT in my eyes, and I want to have my own room like that one day, hopefully. But stuff like that, and then the indoor was beautiful. Neyland Stadium, that’s a pretty big stadium that I could envision myself throwing a couple touchdowns in.
“(I liked) just the whole town in general, and how I guess they’re adding onto the facility, as well, so it was a great chance for me to see that. I think the benefit of me being a young kid, a ‘24 (prospect), is I get to see everything being built and the final product, which is a pretty cool experience.”
