It is no secret that playing defense in the Big 12 requires teams to defend the pass. In an attempt to solidify a thin defensive backfield, Texas Tech has signed six defensive backs in this year’s class including John Davis of Euless, Texas.
Davis fits the mold of what David Gibbs has been looking for in defensive backs in the fact that he is over 6-feet-tall. However, he must add some bulk to his 170-pound frame to be able to be a defensive force in the Big 12.
Davis displays strong instincts in coverage often jumping the short or intermediate routs using his long arms to break up passes.
