2026 4-Star LB Anthony Davis, Jr. Names Alabama as Finalist

Hailing from Grayson High School in Loganville, Georgia, Davis is a 6-foot-2, 200 lb. linebacker ranked by 247Sports' composite ranking as the No. 20 player at his position in the nation and the No. 26 player in the Peach State.

He is an athletic linebacker with the ability to both rush the passer and drop into coverage. In three seasons of varsity football, Davis has compiled an impressive 175 total tackles, 21 TFL's, 6.5 sacks, six pass deflections and even two interceptions.

He helped guide the Grayson Rams to a 14-1 record and a state championship victory in 2024.

The Georgia native is expected to take official visits to some of his five finalists this summer beginning with Auburn on May 30th. After his time with Hugh Freeze and the Tigers, Davis heads to Ole Miss on June 6th before finishing the summer off with a trip to Tuscaloosa on June 20th.

As of now, Alabama holds five commitments in the 2026 recruiting class, four of which are on the defensive side of the ball. If DeBoer and the staff could add a commitment from a player like Davis, it would continue to bolster what is already shaping up to be a very strong defensive class.
