Cleveland Heights (Ohio) defeated Euclid (Ohio) 70-27 Saturday afternoon behind an incredible performance from four-star running back Marquise Davis.

Davis rushed for 463 yards and eight touchdowns on 26 carries — all by the end of the third quarter. His eight scores set a school record.

The 5-foot-11, 200-pound Davis was pursued by the likes of Michigan and Ohio State but ultimately committed to Kentucky on May 1. He is the highest-ranked Wildcats pledge in the 2025 On300.

Davis is the nation’s No. 184 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is the No. 14 running back and No. 7 recruit from Ohio.
