The Path to Norman

Jaden Davis kept the South Florida pipeline alive in the 2019 class. A highly ranked corner, he was teammates at St. Thomas Aquinas with fellow Sooner Nik Bonitto. Despite offers from the likes of Clemson, Miami, and Texas, and several states of distance, Davis knew OU was the right choice from the first time he visited Norman and let it be known in the summer of 2018.

Career so Far

Davis had an impressive freshman season. Preseason, Tre Norwood and Tre Brown were expected to be the starters at corner. However, an injury to Norwood left one spot open. Parnell Motley stepped up and started in almost every game. However, Jaden was a big contributor at corner; he played in every game and even started against West Virginia. He was a hunter on defense and really earned his minutes.

Davis began the 2020 season as a starting corner. He started in six total games and played in 10 as part of an increasingly competitive secondary. Woodi Washington became the starter for the back half of the season, but Jaden still played frequently.

This Season

Davis has had a very nice offseason, with lots of talk about taking big steps. He has continued to work at corner with Woodi Washington and D.J. Graham, the expected starters. Davis is an excellent representation of the improved talent under Coach Grinch; he is more than good enough to start, but the competition at the spot has been fierce. Even as the expected third man at corner, Jaden Davis will play often in this third year on campus.
