Nearly every major college wants Jadyn Davis. Charlotte HS QB opens up on Talking Preps OT

Providence Day’s Jadyn Davis has had a good start at his old/new school.

Davis drew national headlines when he earned scholarships from Alabama and Georgia as an eighth grade middle school student at Providence Day.

Davis transferred to Fort Mill’s Catawba Ridge for his first two years of high school, but came back to Charlotte this year.

In his first two games at Providence Day, he’s thrown for more than 600 yards and 10 touchdowns and the Chargers have moved to No. 1 in The Sweet 16. Friday they have a showdown at Charlotte Catholic.

On Talking Preps OT, which airs Wednesday night (8.31) at 8, Davis talks about why he came back to Providence Day, about how he’s working on his craft and his ultimate college decision.
