Felton Davis explains his choice to leave home state of Virginia and attend MSU

A plethora of offers from schools in his home state and getting the opportunity to play in front of his friends and family every weekend wasn’t enough for Felton Davis to remain in Virginia. Old Dominion, Virginia and Virginia Tech were a universities Davis got to choose from before committing to MSU football back in July. 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?
