FAMU football landed Quay Davis, who is set to join his third SWAC program in three years.
Davis spent the 2023 season at Texas Southern after starting his career at Jackson State.
Quay Davis is a 6’0, 193-pound receiver who played his high school ball at Skyline HS. That’s the same school that produced Grambling State great DeVante Kincade. He was rated as the 23rd-best wide receiver in the 2021 class according to 247Sports’ Composite rating system. Davis committed to four schools in less than three years before coming to Jackson State under Deion Sanders.
“It’s going to be a great experience,” Davis told 24/7 Sports of playing for Deion Sanders. “He’s a Hall of Famer. Not too many people get chance like that. He going to teach me a lot. I have to learn a lot. There is going to be a lot to it.”
Davis played sparingly at Jackson State during the 2022 season – catching just six passes for 33 yards on the season in a talented wide receiver corp.
Now he’s headed to the reigning Celebration Bowl and SWAC champion FAMU Rattlers.
Gabe Brooks of 24/7 Sports did an NFL prospect evaluation of Quay Davis back in 2020. Below is the scouting report.
Stoutly built receiver with virtually college-ready size. Adequate to above average height and impressive build. Can play outside or in the slot. Field-stretching threat with physical style and competitive nature. Generally quick off the line. Proven ball-winner in 50-50 scenarios. Plays with impressive body awareness and adjustment skill. Elevates and positions himself to win in the red zone. Intensity and effort have shown in games and elite 7-on-7 situations. Faces strong competition in Texas Class 6A. Owns the play strength to be a factor as a blocker in the perimeter run game. Fairly sudden athlete in short-to-intermediate range with high ceiling as a route-runner. Functionally athletic on the field, but athleticism lacks verified context in track or combine categories. Can improve top-end speed. Gets on top of DB’s but can separate more consistently. Production dropped from sophomore to junior season, but rebounded in senior year. Production does not match other top-end TXHSFB wideouts. Athletically violent and plays with some wasted motion at times. High-major receiver prospect who could become multi-year impact starter with long-term NFL Draft potential.
