One of the class of 2017's top running back recruits made his collegiate decision Wednesday, as A.J. Davis committed to play for Pittsburgh.
Jerry DiPaola of Trib Total Media shared the Pitt staff's reaction when Davis announced his decision on ESPN:
According to Scout.com, Davis rates as a 3-star prospect and is the 28th-ranked running back overall and the No. 3 running back from the state of Florida.
The Lakeland native has bulked up to 6'0" and 205 pounds, but his speed and athleticism set him apart from most of his peers and were paramount in the interest he generated among top-flight college football programs.
