South Carolina Transfer QB Braden Davis Commits to Syracuse
Syracuse football has landed a transfer quarterback out of the portal in former South Carolina signal caller Braden Davis. Davis signed with the Gamecocks as part of their 2022 recruiting class as a four star quarterback per ESPN. He spent one season with South Carolina, in which he redshirted. The 6-5, 202 pounder has four years of eligibility remaining. He takes the roster spot vacated by Justin Lamson, who entered the transfer portal on the last day it was open following spring ball.
Davis will be coming much closer to home as he graduated from Middletown High School in Delaware. He was named Gatorade Player of the Year in Delaware following the 2021 season. He led his high school to an 11-1 record during his senior season as well as a state championship. He threw for 1,872 yards and 20 touchdowns while rushing for 638 yards and three more scores. He was selected for the Under Armour All-America game. He comes from good bloodlines as his father, Antone Davis, was an offensive lineman at Tennessee before spending several years in the NFL with the Eagles, Falcons and Packers. Antone Davis was the eighth pick in the 1991 NFL Draft.
Out of High School, the younger Davis had offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Cincinnati, Clemson, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Iowa, LSU, Maryland, Michigan State, NC State, Oregon, Penn State, Rutgers, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, Washington State, West Virginia and several others in addition to South Carolina.
