TheWolfpacker.com’s Monday Morning Newsstand

Josiah Davis, a three-star athlete who recently visited NC State, will announce his commitment Monday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. EST. As of this morning, Florida is trending in his recruitment and leads his Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) at 97.4 percent.

After visiting both NC State and Florida in March, Davis announced a top five that included the Pack, the Gators, Kentucky, Louisville, and Tennessee. The 6-1, 185-pound Nashville (Ga.) Berrien High star is unranked by On3 but holds an impressive offer list that includes 7 power-five programs.

One expert prediction has been logged going into Davis’ commitment. GatorsOnline recruiting analyst Corey Bender submitted his prediction March 8, forecasting that the athlete will commit to Florida.

NC State hosted Davis March 10 for an unofficial visit.

During his junior season, Davis rushed for 895 yards and 12 touchdowns on 104 carries, racked up 138 yards and 2 touchdowns receiving and scored 7 touchdowns on kickoff returns. Defensively, he made 70 total tackles and recorded 1 sack and 1 interception.

NC State quote of the day

This quote is from Wolfpack wide receiver Porter Rooks discussing his decision to stick with the Pack over the years.

“NC State, it’s more than football here to me,” Rooks said. “This is a home away from home. This locker room is something that you won’t find everywhere, so it was a no-brainer to me, especially with the role that I could be stepping into.”
