Davis, the then-ninth verbal commit for the Spartans at the time, is a four-star wide receiver by 24/7 Sports and currently ranked 22nd among all pass catchers in the 2015 class.

A scouting report by ESPN.com says that Davis is at his best in one-on-one coverage, due to his ability to create separation based on his size. The report also describes him as very productive and can catch the ball really well, even while being covered.

The 6-foot-4-inch, 175-pounder also held offers from Florida’s University of Miami, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Missouri and others.

SN: HOW DID PLAYING AT HIGHLAND SPRINGS PREPARE YOU FOR A CAREER AT MSU?

FD: Playing at HSHS laid the foundation for what’s to come, coaches pushed me to my limits every day, trying to get me to tap into my potential.

SN: CAN YOU BRIEFLY DESCRIBE YOUR HIGH SCHOOL CAREER WITH HSHS?

FD: High school was fun, a lot of hard work, but that’s with anything. I’ve made a lot of memories, but my favorite was the catch my 10th grade year against the Hanover Hawks. We were down by 3 with 14 seconds left on the clock at Hanover 17-yard line. I ran a skinny post, caught it and got tackled at the 4-yard line. We spiked the ball with eight seconds left and we ran it in for the score and beat them with no time to spare. That will forever be my favorite memory. Accomplishments ... I have a lot, but I set my goals very high and I have yet to reach them. But one I’m very proud of was 1st team All-Academic.

SN: WHAT ARE YOUR INITIAL IMPRESSIONS ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND THE UNIVERSITY IN GENERAL?

FD: Family. The whole university is built around family. That’s how I grew up, so that’s what I know. As a 17-year-old, you want to go somewhere that you feel wanted. And I feel wanted in E.L.

SN: WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS ON YOUR OFFER LIST?

FD: I never paid any mind to the amount of schools. But the offer list in general, when I look back it was a lot of good schools on there with great programs, but they ultimately don’t stack up to MSU.

SN: YOU RECEIVED A LOT OF INTEREST BACK IN YOUR HOME STATE. WAS IT FAIRLY DIFFICULT TO CHOOSE TO PLAY BALL OUTSIDE OF VIRGINIA?

FD: Well my dad is from Tennessee and my mom from Virginia, so it was hard not choosing a school in either state. I have a lot of family both places, and I can say I call both places home. So yes, it was really hard.

SN: What type of role are you hoping to acquire next season on offense?

FD: I just plan to come in and help the team fill the shoes that Tony Lippett just left.

SN: What should MSU fans know about you before you take the field next season?

FD: Just to remember the name “Beast Mode.”
