Four Star Safety Daymon David Set to Announce Today

The star has long been courted by the Eagles, but odds are not looking good going into his decision

It's been a long journey, but four star safety Daymon David is set to make his announcement today. The Reisterstown (MD) native set a final two of Michigan and Boston College about a month ago, but since then received a big offer from the Oregon Ducks. This was a game changer, the type of big time program he was waiting for, and all of a sudden his final two became a final three. After his newest offer he became a consensus four star on both Rivals and 247. 

As his decision has dragged on, the odds of Boston College landing the safety have gone down. All over the internet other experts have begun to put in their predictions and they are all universally Oregon. This would make a lot of sense because if he really wanted to go to Michigan or Boston College he could have pulled the trigger. But David has warmed up to Oregon, hence why they are the leader.

Why Boston College will land Daymon David

From our previous discussion

Relationships. Talk to any of the recruits who have committed to play in Jeff Hafley's background and this is the common theme. These kids connect strongly with Hafley and his defensive backs coach Aazaar Abdul Rahim. These type of relationships are what helps BC beat out schools like Florida and Alabama for Clinton Burton Jr., and keeps Jalen Cheeks onboard. And from reports it sounds like David is strongly in this camp. He has a strong bond with Rahim, and this could be enough to pull the trigger.

Why Boston College will not land Daymon David.

David has been a pretty quiet recruit, holding his cards close to his chest. But the fact that almost every pundit has him going to Oregon should say something. The longer this has gone on the quicker the odds shrunk that it would be the Eagles. On top of that, read the tea leaves. The Eagles recently made a very late offer to another safety, Marvin Martin out of Texas. If they were in good shape with David they wouldn't need to do that.
