This FRESHMAN QB is the FUTURE of MICHIGAN Football (Meet Jadyn Davis)

While many are talking about the QB battle between Alex Orji and Jayden Denegal at Michigan, there is a freshman on the roster who is worth all the hype in the world. A few years ago, Jadyn Davis was a prodigy QB who had SEC offers in middle school and was the #1 player in his class. Throughout his next few years, he only dominated more, brought home more awards and became even better. Despite that, his ranking dropped and now he is super slept on. Today, I want to talk about Michigans future QB Jaydn Davis, his prodigy story and how good he could be for Michigan in the future, enjoy!

Jayden Davis was a back to back Mr. Football in the state of North Carolina his junior and senior year but somehow dropped after committing to Michigan. Makes total sense considering his stats never fell off. He literally fell in the rankings only because he committed to Michigan. They would of had him number 1 or 2 had he committed to the suckeyes, bama or Georgia.

He dropped once he committed to UM. This kid chose UM knowing that it’s about winning championships and not about individual stats. Harbaugh may be gone but he left a player first and player lead culture in 2A. So excited for the upcoming season as they embark on a new era of Michigan football. GO BLUE!!!

Michigan just proved why the rankings are not everything. Let them doubt.

[@1234MarioDuane]

All Michigan recruits rankings go down when they commit. Donovan was a 5*, Keon Saab, Derrick Moore, jadyn, Marshall, etc. But who cares, as long as they are playing for Michigan. In the end, the talent makes it to the field. 〽️🏈💯💪🏾👑

[@marks2807]

@@1234MarioDuane That is why I'm always like "yeah sure" anytime they say something like "Michigan only has three 5 stars" when we are playing an OSU, or Alabama. Because often a good number of our 4 stars where 5 stars before they committed to Michigan. It is almost like players get punished ranking wise for committing to us.

[@florida1289]

He was the number 1 overall player at one time. They literally swapped out him and Raiola. Yes he's a true freshman but true freshman as of a couple of years ago are now allowed to join the team during bowl prep and get those extra 15 practice's + Michigan winning the national title gave him another week of practices Along with obviously being an early enrollee with the amount of reps this kid has had in high school I wouldn't be shocked if he was QB1 toward the end of year. Spring game will tell us a lot.

[@freeheeler00]

The only reason you didn't get a like from me on this video is because you state Jack Tuttle is "not really that good". I looked him up. Tuttle was a 4-Star prospect who struggled when he got thrown into the fire early on at Indiana. In the last two years as a backup (39 pass attempts), he has completed 82.2% of his passes for two TD's (zero INT's) and he had 35 yards on four carries for Michigan in 2023. He is more athletic than people think and he has the best resume for the job out of all the QB's on Michigan's roster.

[@user-dq9zs8st4z]

Come back to this video when he is a star ⭐️

[@jackpackage4278]

My only problem with Jayden as a Michigan fan is he isn’t a year older so he could’ve been on the roster last season. If he had been behind JJ all year last year and got some PT in all the blowouts we had he would be good to go this year.

[@jamesb9300]

He fell in the rankings because he didn't commit to an SEC school so we can officially say that the these rankings have hidden agenda's if the recruits don't commit to the school of their choice which is a joke.

[@101stairassault5]

Jadyn Davis fell in the rankings because he didn’t commit to Georgia, Bama, Clemson or Ohio State. He was in that 5-star ranking until he made his commitment to Michigan. Says all you need to know. The star rankings have been a joke for years. To be honest they really don’t mean that much coming out of high school. Many players improve beyond their high school star rating after they grow more in size/strength and develop in college.

[@johnnywebb2351]

Agreed 💯

[@gbedmonds1594]

There are just some kids that exude the "it" factor. I really like this kid and given the right circumstance if he keeps it humble he will be the next JJ.

[@Im__juju]

When high recruited skill players commit to Michigan they always drop.. 100% due too the style of play michigan has had in the Harbaugh era.. even the 5 stars we had.. JJ, & will Johnson also dropped rating wise after commitment but stayed 5 stars.. he will redshirt this year & I do think he starts his redshirt freshmen year〽️

[@sladetheexpectation]

It would be exciting to see Orji or Denegal get the nood. But if history has told us anything, it'll most likely be Tuttle taking that first snap in September.

[@RadioMuse1]

I think most Michigan fans "in the know" are pretty hyped on Jaydn Davis, but probably for the 2025 season more than 2024. Freshman-phenom QBs forced into the main role too early tend to explode in every direction and Michigan's coaches prefer a more methodical "complimentary football" approach. The hope for him in the 2024 season looks more like McCarthy's freshman year - where they have specialized packages tailored specifically to his strengths and get him in for 5ish real snaps per competitive game and they'll use other backups in mop-up duty to minimize injury risk. McCarthy had a lot of great highlight plays in 2021 and his package included other budding stars like Blake Corum and Roman Wilson - and the chemistry and comfort of that group really showed in big moments in 2023/2024. There's also a lot of talk that Michigan may be planning to use Orgi as a redzone/short yardage QB similar to Oklahoma's old "Belldozer" package or how Florida utilized a freshman Tebow - regardless of who the main starter is. Since no "heir-apparent" emerged last year, it's anyone's guess until they announce the roster in late August.

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

Kinda reminds me of C.J. Stroud. Now that C.J. has graduated I can like him. Go Blue.

[@ryansimmons3818]

Well, a few things…. I really like Alex Orji and feel that Denegal has a place on the roster, but haven’t seen nearly enough to make an argument that he (or Orji) will be anything close to as good as JJ… but I highly doubt they will be better…. That would be GREAT for us if they were lol .. I think Orji has all the athleticism in the world and can be an excellent player for us, but we just dk how he handles the big games & heavy situations … I’d love to see him develop early on and do great things for us this year and allow Jadyn to familiarize himself with the speed of the game and understanding his receivers/etc. I think Jadyn will have a solid Soph season, and then breakout his JR year, and come back as a senior and win a Natty and Heisman! With Jordan Marshall right there as a Heisman RU. LFG!

[@discoewolverine]

I believe he’s gonna be special

[@jordandennis6794]

Bro that thumbnail had me looking twice

[@TWHISPERER]

Looks like a good kid, but we need three guys that can step in and play full time, and play well. One will transfer if he doesn't get to play a lot this upcoming season, that leaves two, one will get hurt, so we need at least three guys that can play well. I am hoping that Denegal turns out to be better than we expect because he was the forgotten player last season. We need him to step up and show that he can lead the team down the field for TDs because Alex and Jadyn are the favorites to win the battle. Three is the magic number.

[@ChristopherKou]

I am excited for Davis. Just not sure if he'll be ready to hit the ground running as a frosh. Orji, Denegal, Warren, and Tuttle all have time in the system already and have seen the field. We'll see. I'm sure Moore will play the guy that gives Michigan the best chance to win.

[@jeffg1524]

The pressure on the kid will be immense. I hope he'll stick around long enough to be a starter, but with NIL, if he doesn't get the starting job quickly he may bolt to greener pastures. Goes with the territory in today's college football. I just hope he doesn't go to a rival and be a scourge against Michigan.

[@lostinthesauce8855]

Let’s be real we know why he dropped in the rankings… anytime a player commits or even considers Michigan they start dropping in the ranks

[@michiganmarv1860]

Yooo why did Tutle catch a stray like that 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jCr5733]

It's only the third five Star quarterback Michigan has landed and this guy chose Michigan because of her ball because of his loyalty he would run through a brick wall for him.. he commits to Michigan runs through that brick wall and Jim harbaugh dips out. That's great loyalty

[@mikeworkman1759]

Nah...most fans want orji for the upside potential of a big, strong dual threat QB. I wouldn't be shocked to see 2 or 3 QBs this year though, it'll be an interesting Spring game! I'm hopeful that one of the seasoned QBs shows off in the spring game to be the clear cut favorite and if it isn't orji then we still use him more than last year, like we did with JJ his freshman year to supplement Cade.

[@johnnywebb2351]

😂pleeease 😂

[@oIFIFeNSe]

I think he should at the very least have a shot to start. Even from the clips you showed and watching the other guys at UM throw the ball, he has the best mechanics and throws among the group currently.

I like how you started this saying that being a Michigan Qb is a big deal…im a michigan fan and tbh you ir QBs are usually mid…RB and defense matter more

[@woodshed_moments]

Yeah, well your analysis I don't necessarily agree with because the things you're basing it on are old school, I don't know how you can take a look at these quarterbacks which are drawn from a different School of thinking, and then superimpose drop back pastor metrics on them and just think that's going to work out... No, so I will assign you to the disappointment pool of a lot of teams out there that wish they had drafted the right guy but listen to Guys like You and missed a quarterback. Some of the stuff you're saying I can agree with get your overall perspective of where their talents should be going who is valuable against who is burgeoning as valuable I can't boogie down with. That said, JJ McCarthy is a credit to his type... which is technically mobile - is not actually a true dual-threat quarterback, because they don't use them that way we've never seen him be used as the third rushing option with enough frequency to go okay we can see his rushing stats on a regular basis, like Russell Wilson when he played in the Big Ten. That said again for what JJ McCarthy does which is brilliant by the way what is a credit to his type. What you have going on now is what you can clearly see is the applied tutelage of John Harbaugh through Jim... Going to your more actively aggressive rushing quarterback which is the true dual-threat quarterback. You have that in all of these candidates, Orji, Donegal and Daniels I have never been more thrilled and more optimistic about Michigan's future quarterback prospects then the pen of quarterbacks they have now... And to have "Shoelaces" on staff too? Michigan could not be better poised to produce a squad of highly talented offensive threats at quarterback.
