Elijah Davis

Talented Louisiana three-star RB commit Elijah Davis churned out 203 yards and four touchdowns in Riverside’s win Friday. Davis had long runs of 51 and 53 yards, and at 5-foot-10 and 205 pounds is a downhill runner that can absorb and play through contact and is also a factor as a pass-catcher out of the backfield. He’s averaging 229.5 YPG and is one of the better bruisers between the tackles. Davis entered the game fifth in rushing in Louisiana and sits with 1,350 yards entering Week 7. Power 5 schools are keeping tabs on Davis, whose initial burst and physical running style is a problem for opposing defensive coordinators. He’s hard to tackle — a lot like former Cajun Montrell Johnson, now toting the rock for Billy Napier’s Gators
