In a recent interview, Jadyn Davis expressed his belief that he will become the next face of Michigan football, potentially following a similar path as JJ McCarthy, who has been a prominent figure for the Wolverines since his commitment a few years ago.

“One of the times I vividly remember is me being in coach Harbaugh’s office and him telling me that the weight of the program’s on my shoulders,” Davis told On3. “He’s putting the program in my hands, really, and I’m gonna be the face of that Wolverine program.”

Davis earns a bid to the Elite 11

This week, the football community received thrilling news as it was announced that Jadyn Davis has advanced to the finals of the prestigious Elite 11 competition held in LA. Davis finds himself in the esteemed company of other top-ranked quarterbacks, including some former targets of Michigan football, such as CJ Carr.
