ATH [COLOR= rgb(178, 34, 34)]Stephen Davis Jr.[/COLOR] 6'4" 207lbs of Dutch Fork went back onto the recruiting market earlier this month with his
decommitment from Auburn. He is now focused on five schools…Auburn, Clemson, USC, Florida State and Georgia. with no current favorite.
Saturday he made his first to one of his favorites since his decommitment by attending the Kentucky game at USC. And the Gamecocks started their hard sell.
“It was a great visit, I had a lot of fun,” said Davis Jr. who talked with Steve Spurrier, Steve Spurrier Jr., Lorenzo Ward and Grady Brown. “They told me I could be a big time player playing in the SEC. They were coming at me pretty hard. They are recruiting me hard and I’m going to enjoying the recruiting, play my high school ball and then figure it out.”
Davis Jr. has switched from safety to running back this season but said the Gamecocks talked with him about linebacker and spur safety. He said he’s not sure if most schools will recruit him for defense or offense and the position doesn’t matter to him, he’s just looking for the best opportunity for playing time.
Clemson is also going after Davis Jr. and he has interest in the Tigers as well.
“Clemson wants me really bad,” he said. “I really want to visit Clemson again. The first time I visited was the spring game and I loved it up there. They kind of surprised me a little. I thought Clemson would be too close to home but it’s like 2-3 hours away so if I want to come home, I can come home. It’s a nice campus and they take academics very seriously and that’s what I like.”
Davis Jr. said he will continue to visit schools during the season and he will take all five official visits to his favorites before making a decision in January. He is not graduating early from school.
“I’m in the mix of visiting colleges and seeing how I like the college and the campus and the academic programs,” Davis Jr. said. “I’m going to take my official to Clemson for the Florida State game, to Florida State for the Miami game, to Auburn for the Alabama game and I might take my official to South Carolina for the LSU game. I’ll also take one to Georgia.” He also plans to go unofficially to Auburn September 26 when his dad, a former star Tiger running back, is honored by the school.
Davis Jr. made his full time debut at running back last week at Boiling Springs and rushed for 254 yards and 6 touchdowns, and scored a seventh touchdown thru the air.
