|
| Davenport battled injury his senior season, but when he’s healthy, he’s as good as any defensive tackle in the country. He has forklift like power, runs extremely well, is coachable and plays with great intensity. With his size and strength, he can occupy a double team quite easily, but he’s quick enough to disrupt the offensive backfield. Terrific first step and powerful with his hands and legs. Scott Kennedy, Scout.com. |

Davenport reports a 2.7 core GPA and a 15 ACT, which he is retaking in June.
Davenport: "I’m quick and have quick feet. I'm explosive for my size and just move good. I'm powerful, but explosive. That's the best way to describe me."
"I'd like to get my forty time down a little and I also want to improve my upper body strength. I want to be able to beat guys that are bigger and stronger than me.
"I think throwing the shot helps my strength and I do a lot of lifting. I'm also running the bleachers and doing a lot of short yard sprints and rope training."
