Colorado offers Tennessee 4-star TE commit Ethan Davis

Suwanee (Ga.) Collins Hill tight end Ethan Davis received an offer from Colorado on Sunday night. The Tennessee commit announced the news over social media.

Davis is the No. 126 overall prospect and No. 5 tight end in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 8 player in Georgia. 

On3 rates Davis higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2023 On300, he is the No. 92 overall prospect, No. 3 tight end and No. 6 player in Georgia.

The 6-foot-4, 225-pound prospect is the latest target of new Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders. Other recruits to receive offers from Colorado today include Roseville (Mich.) three-star safety Amare Snowden and Birmingham (Ala.) Pinson Valley three-star safety T.J. Metcalf, an Arkansas commit.

“He knows how to recruit, he relates very well to kids and many parents grew up watching Deion,” On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons said. “We know he is going to sign talent. Now a lot of eyes will be in him and his staff as coaches on the Power 5 level. This is a great move for college football and it creates new excitement at Colorado.”

Colorado currently has commitments from two tight ends in Aurora (Colo.) Regis Jesuit three-star Andrew Metzger and Seattle (Wash.) O’Dea three-star Tucker Ashcraft. The Buffaloes’ 2023 recruiting class is No. 51 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 8 in the Pac-12.

Davis has an On3 NIL Valuation of $170K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
