MONROEVILLE, Pa. – If you’re trying to get Derrick Davis Jr. to speak openly about his recruitment, good luck with that.
One of the greatest football players Gateway (Pa.) High School has ever seen lets his game do the talking on the field, and he rarely talks about where he’s going to play when his Gateway days are over. He’s not as intensely private as Washington’s J.T. Tuimoloau, but he’s still been keeping those things to himself since he was a freshman.
That’s when his recruiting process began, as he received an offer from Pitt just two games after he took over as the Gators’ starting running back in 2017.
