Seth Davis burst onto the scene for the Katy Tigers in 2020 as the sophomore running back who ran for 1,745 yards and 18 touchdowns to help lead his team to a state championship. After the game, Davis was named State Championship Game MVP and was then named Second Team All-State.
The 5’9”, 175-pound, playmaker plays with great speed and quickness while also possessing great field vision and athleticism.
The Class of 2023 recruit is already drawing interest from big-time programs including LSU, North Carolina, and Baylor. During the offseason, Davis also attended camps at Alabama and Clemson.
In an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I caught up with Seth to talk about his upcoming junior season and get an update on his recruiting process.
