As a runner, he has the burst to hit the home run shot, the shiftiness to make a defender miss, and the power to drive through arm tackles. He has great vision and can set up his blockers with patience in the backfield. Davison is quite decisive as a runner as well.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s also a considerable receiver out of the backfield. Davison is able to line up as a slot receiver in addition to taking running back screens the distance. What will help him get on the field sooner is his pass-blocking ability. He&#8217;s a strong and willing blocker and will be quite the three-down back at the Power 4 level.<\/p>\n<p>He broke out as a sophomore in 2022. In total, according to <em>MaxPreps<\/em>, Davison ran for 1,514 yards and 17 touchdowns. He topped 100 yards in a game seven times and even scored on a 99-yard touchdown against Sant Margarita. Davison suffered a lower-body injury last year, so his productivity took a hit. Even then, he totaled 662 yards and 10 touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>He was named the running back MVP at <em>Rivals<\/em>\u2018 Los Angeles camp in March.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60797\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60797\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-60797 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21703752_168400562_lowres-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21703752_168400562_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21703752_168400562_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21703752_168400562_lowres-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21703752_168400562_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21703752_168400562_lowres-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21703752_168400562_lowres-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/collegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/USATSI_21703752_168400562_lowres-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60797\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Soobum Im-USA TODAY Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a long recruiting battle, the highly-touted stud running back Jordon Davison has made his decision.
