Auburn commit enjoys being "under the radar" 

ATLANTA -- Last fall, linebacker Jarrad Davis (Kingsland, Ga./Camden County) made plays all over the field for the Wildcats. A Region 3-AAAAA first-team selection, the 6-foot-1, 200-pound junior had 61 tackles, two sacks, three fumbles causes, two fumbles recovered and two passes deflected. He had similar results in the Rising Seniors Junior Bowl All-Star game, leading the East team with eight tackles.

After suffering a broken ankle in June, it was unknown if Davis would be back in time to showcase his speed for Saturday's season opener versus Peachtree Ridge, and even then, just how explosive he would be on the field. After an impressive performance Saturday night, Davis left no doubt he was back to 100 percent.
