Michigan lands huge commitment from Top 100 QB Jadyn Davis
Michigan has found its quarterback of the future.
After a few bumps in the road over the last two cycles, the Wolverines finally pulled in a highly touted talent in 2024 Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day signal-caller Jadyn Davis, the No. 4 quarterback and No. 26 overall recruit nationally.
Davis committed to Michigan following his visit this month. He picked the Wolverines over fellow finalists Clemson, North Carolina, Ohio State and Tennessee live on ESPN’s SportsCenter broadcast.
“All those guys (on Michigan’s staff) have been on NFL staffs — coaches in the NFL and played in the NFL,” Davis said. “Coach Harbaugh was a 14-year veteran. The quarterback position is the hardest position to play. If you haven’t played it, you don’t really know what it’s like, so it’s great to have Coach Harbaugh there. Michigan is a great school.”
Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh personally met with Davis and his family and made a big impression on all of his visits.
“Coach Harbaugh is a cool dude,” Davis said. “Some people call him awkward, and he can be (laughs). But he’s just a really cool dude. He’s very humble. You’d never know it was Jim Harbaugh if you didn’t know his face. My family loves him. My dad had great conversations with him. I like Coach Harbaugh a lot.”
