Syracuse football recruiting: 2017 OL Dakota Davis commits to Orange

Class of 2017 offensive lineman Dakota Davis committed to Syracuse on Friday, he announced in a tweet. Scout.com first reported the news.

The Glenelg (Maryland) High School product is ranked with two stars by Scout and unranked by 247sports.com. He picked Syracuse over offers from Connecticut, Ohio and Old Dominion, amongst others.



According to his Hudl.com profile, Davis — 6 feet 5 inches, 310 pounds — runs a 5.50 40-yard dash. He also bench presses 300 pounds and squats 435.

Davis is the seventh commit to the Syracuse’s 2017 recruiting class, and the fourth commit in the past week. He’s also the first offensive lineman in Syracuse’s class.
