Giovanni Davis, 2022 Defensive tackle - Rivals.com
Gio Davis on Hudl
“I’ve got a lot of family that likes UT,” said Davis, who helped his South Pittsburg team advance to Tennessee’s Class 1A semifinals with a 37-7 win at Gordonsville (Tenn.) High School in Friday’s quarterfinals.
“As soon as I posted it (on Twitter), they were texting.”
Davis admitted he grew up liking LSU. But he said some of his relatives are “big Tennessee fans — like, walk in the living room and they’ve got an orange couch,” referring to his uncle. That’s one of the reasons he said “it’s going to be tough” for him to turn down the opportunity to play at Tennessee.
“I’d be closer to home, so I like it a lot more,” he said, “and I’ve got a lot of family (nearby) and stuff.”
“I want to come see it,” he said. “I mean, if I’m able to go during the dead period, I’ll try.”
rc“I think the defense, it’s good,” Davis said. “I like the scheme and stuff Tennessee runs. I just like it.”
