Anthony Davis '13 WR / DB (Commit, walk-on ?)

I believe this tweet is from Brice Marich, who I never heard and have no idea how credible he is, a staff writer for BadgerNation on Scout.com. I write "believe" because only Brice is listed on the Twitter bio, but there's a Brice Marich who writes for the Wisconsin Scout site.

Davis is a 2013 player, so we're probably talking about some sort of walk on deal.

The following is from ESPNBoston last September (http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/high-school/post/_/id/18735/recruiting-no...).

On the rise: Anthony Davis is the rarest of the rare. He's a Division I football recruit from the state of Vermont.

Davis wasn't born and bred in the Green Mountain State, but he is spending a post-graduate year at Vermont Academy in Saxons River. After an injury-plagued senior season, he's hoping a year of prep school will increase his college options.

"He was heavily recruited as a junior, but did not play at all last year because he was injured, " Vermont Academy coach Mike Atkins said. "Recruiting fell off, so he needed another year for that reason, and, academically, to prepare for college."

Davis, a wide receiver/defensive back, has offers from Bryant and Elon, but Atkins said several Division I schools are showing interest.

"I just called Penn State [Friday] morning because they inquired about him," Atkins said. "Athletically, he could be at that level, but he's not there yet. He fancies himself as a wide receiver, but I think he's a better defensive back. He's athletic enough where he could make a mistake and still recover from it.

"He will try out for the basketball team, which has five for six Division I-level kids, some who have already committed – that's the kind of athlete he is."

Here's a read from Rivals.com regarding a potential UConn offer from last August: http://connecticut.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1397320.

Here's his highlight video, which lists him at 6-3, 200-lbs.
