Is there a 2021 thread???
2021 quarterback Dematrius Davis Jr. of Houston. The North Shore signal-caller still has two years of high school ball to play, of course, but NU quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco and head coach Scott Frost are ahead of the game recruiting quarterbacks.
Davis was on hand to watch the Huskers practice Monday morning and made his way toward the football offices after the session wrapped up around 11 a.m.
The Huskers have a 2020 verbal commitment from Logan Smothers (Athens, Alabama) already secured, so Verduzco spent December and January visiting him but also evaluating younger prospects.
Davis earned plenty of notoriety at the end of his sophomore campaign by throwing a game-winning touchdown pass in the Class 6A state championship game at the last second to beat Duncanville.
According to the Houston Chronicle, Davis, a 5-foot-11 dual-threat, threw for 3,550 yards (71.6 percent completions), 49 touchdowns and just two interceptions as a sophomore. Now, he sports a 23-1 career record as a starter.
Davis is one of a handful of 2021 quarterbacks that already hold an offer from Verduzco and the Huskers. That group also includes Jake Garcia (Narbonne, California), Brock Vandagriff (Bogart, Georgia), Preston Stone (Dallas), Jalen Milroe (Katy, Texas) and Notre Dame verbal commit Tyler Buchner (La Jolla, California).
Davis already has a host of high profile offers and tweeted recently that he's on a swing of spring visits that's already included Arkansas, LSU and Texas A&M and is also expected to include Alabama, Florida State and others.
