Loganville (Ga.) Grayson four-star linebacker Anthony Davis has narrowed his focus to Ole Miss, Michigan, Alabama and Auburn down the stretch in his process.

Davis, a Top-20 rated linebacker in America, has revealed his finalists with an August 2 decision date penciled in.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder flaunts an impressive offer list, but has now shifted his focus to four schools with Lane Kiffin's program firmly in the mix.

For Kiffin and the Rebels, the program is pushing all the right buttons for the Sunshine State native following multiple trips to Oxford this year.

Davis took a visit to see the Rebels on April 17 where he had the chance to soak in the scenes of the Magnolia State for a quick trip around the staff.

“The hospitality they showed me and my family was like no other,” Davis told On3 Sports. “I sat down with the DC for a hour just going over how I fit their scheme and it was great.”

Following a beneficial unofficial visit in April, the Ole Miss Rebels then landed an official visit with Davis where he was in Oxford during the second weekend of June for a multi-day stay.

“Ole Miss has made things interesting,” Davis told On3 Sports. “The hospitality and the way they want to play for me really caught my attention.”

Davis also checked in with the Michigan Wolverines, Auburn Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide for official visits as he continued evaluating the contenders in his process.

As "Decision Day" nears, it's the Ole Miss Rebels and Michigan Wolverines emerging as the two programs to watch.

It'a becoming a "heated battle" for Davis as he inches closer towards a commitment decision during the first weekend of August, according to Rivals' EJ Holland.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder is a Top-250 prospect in America and a Top-20 linebacker with Ole Miss, Michigan, Alabama and Auburn in the mix down the stretch.

Ole Miss will look to intensify their pursuit down the stretch with the program looking to build on the Top-20 Recruiting Class in the 2026 cycle.
