By Staff Report Aug 29, 2023, 3:00pm

Top 100 national prospect has put up monster numbers in first two games of senior season.

One of the nation's top high school football quarterbacks will lead his team into a nationally-televised rivalry game Friday as Michigan commitment Jadyn Davis and Providence Day (Charlotte, N.C.) meet Charlotte Catholic (Charlotte, N.C.) on ESPNU.

Davis has put up big numbers in Providence Day's 2-0 start. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound senior completed 24 of 35 pass attempts for 499 yards and five touchdowns in the season opener, a 42-35 win over Northwestern (Rock Hill, S.C.). He went 16 of 19 for 250 yards and three touchdowns last week in a 47-7 win over Asheville.

247Sports rates Davis as the No. 7 quarterback prospect in the Class of 2024 and the No. 76 prospect overall. He committed to Michigan in March over 31 other offers.

As a junior, Davis threw for 3,425 yards and 43 touchdowns against just six interceptions this season, leading Providence Day to a 12-1 record and the NCISAA Division I state title.

While Davis will get the headlines heading into Friday, Charlotte Catholic won't be a pushover. The Cougars are 2-0 with dominant wins over South Mecklenburg (49-16) and Northern Durham (49-0). Notre Dame-bound tight end Jack Larsen has four touchdown receptions already this season.



The two teams went to the wire last year before Providence Day prevailed 21-20.
