No. 19: Frankie Davis

School: Broken Arrow

Height: 6-foot-3

Weight: 220 pounds

Position: Defensive end

Offers: Tulsa, Memphis, Arkansas State and New Mexico highlight a list that now totals seven offers.

Davis says he wouldn't mind being a linebacker if that's where a college team wants him to play, but he prefers defensive end. And the seven schools that have offered all see him on the line.

Broken Arrow coach Steve Spavital thinks it's the perfect position for him, and he doesn't believe the concerns about his weight are valid

“If you look at him, you see how skinny he looks at 220,” the coach said. “I think he has a lot of potential size. He can grow into a fine defensive end.

“He's not that 260-pound guy right now, but he has the potential to get that big. He's so athletic, and he'll just continue that at a larger size.”

And Spavital believes Davis offers a lot more to a college team because of his character.

“He's just a great kid,” Spavital said. “He's been involved here since he was little, and I can't think of a day he's missed. He's a perfect kid to coach.”
