Ole Miss offers 2024 RB Chris Davis
On Tuesday night, Ole Miss receivers coach Derrick Nix and offensive assistant Kelvin Bolden extended an offer to Picayune Memorial (Miss.) running back Chris Davis.
The 6-foot, 165 pound prospect from Picayune, Miss., currently holds offers from Boston College, Georgia Tech and Florida State.
As a sophomore, Davis ran for 1,200 yards and 17 touchdowns on 107 carries for the 13-1 Picayune Memorial High School program which captured the Mississippi Class 5A state championship.
Davis has been clocked unofficially in the 40-yard dash at 4.4 seconds, he squats 455 pounds and benches 235. He has already taken trips to Atlanta, Chestnut Hill and Tallahassee to check out the Yellowjackets, Eagles and Seminoles respectively.
Accompanying him on all three trips was 2023 running back and Ole Miss target, Dante Dowdell. Per sources close to Davis’ recruitment, the two are quite close and Dowdell’s recruitment could potentially affect what Davis decides to do in the 2024 cycle.
The Magnolia State athlete has home run speed to go along with a mature frame which lends to him being strong between the tackles as well. He and Dowdell both return and give Picayune Memorial a heck of a one-two punch as they try to repeat as 5A champs this fall.
Davis is not yet ranked in the 2024 class.
Florida State currently holds a commanding 88.0% lead, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM). Georgia Tech, Boston College and Ole Miss are all tied for second at 4.0%.
RPM was released to the public in December 2021. The On3 engineering group teamed up with Spiny.ai to create the industry’s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college.
It factors in machine learning, expert predictions, social sentiment, visits, and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.
Davis has an On3 NIL Valuation of $5.8k. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date; it rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
