DaRon Davis to Missouri: Tigers Land 4-Star Athlete Prospect

Class of 2017 4-star athlete DaRon Davis has verbally committed to the Missouri Tigers, according to Tod Palmer of the Kansas City Star.

Davis had offers from only two teams, according to 247Sports. Along with Missouri, the Kansas Jayhawks also offered the No. 2-ranked prospect in the state of Missouri. Florida State and Minnesota were among other teams who visited him.

Davis becomes the Tigers' first commitment for 2017, and it's a solid get for head coach Gary Pinkel. The 6'2", 190-pound athlete from Kansas City has had a solid junior year for Hogan Preparatory Academy.

Davis has the height to be a quality receiver in Missouri's passing game, but he also could be a bruising running back out of the spread formation. Palmer noted that he would more likely be a receiver based on Pinkel's history with recruiting.

"Davis’ build—6'2" and 185 pounds—suggest more of a wide receiver based historically on the Tigers’ recruiting profile," Palmer wrote. "He boasts a 42-inch vertical and also had a scholarship offer from Kansas."

With one more year of high school football under his belt, Davis could still put on 10-20 more pounds before starting his college career.

Also, that No. 2 state ranking may not stay that way for long. If he's putting up numbers like that in his junior year, Davis could have a number-shattering senior year.
