Nobody saw this coming. Vince Marrow pulled off an absolute stunner. Michigan had an 89.5% chance in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) to secure a commitment from Marquise Davis. Every recruiting insider across multiple platforms picked Davis to play for the defending National Champs. On Kentucky Sports Radio, Davis announced his commitment to Kentucky.

Over the last week, there have been multiple articles written about Davis’ affinity for Michigan and his relationship with new running backs coach Tony Alford. He visited Ann Arbor multiple times over the last month. In between those visits, he was in Lexington. Davis made the trip from Cleveland in consecutive weekends, starting with the Blue-White Spring Game.

Davis fooled everyone. The four-star running back will be a Kentucky Wildcat.
