Oklahoma Transfer Cornerback Jaden Davis Bolsters Miami Hurricanes' Secondary

In a significant move for the Miami Hurricanes, Oklahoma transfer cornerback Jaden Davis has committed to the team after visiting Coral Gables last week with his family. A product of St. Thomas Aquinas HS in Fort Lauderdale from the 2019 recruiting class, Davis brings valuable experience and skill to Miami's secondary, bolstering their roster for the upcoming season.

During his time at Oklahoma, the 5-foot-10, 183-pound cornerback played in 47 games, starting in 22 of them. He has amassed 103 career tackles, one interception, and 10 pass breakups. As a former St. Thomas Aquinas HS player, Davis is already familiar with South Florida's football scene, which should aid his transition to the Miami Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes were in need of some depth in their cornerback room after losing both starters, Tyrique Stevenson and DJ Ivey, to the NFL Draft. Davis' arrival is a timely boost, as he is expected to compete for a starting job opposite Davante Brown, a fellow transfer from the University of Central Florida (UCF).

He does , most figure he’ll bounce after this year though. At least that’s the plan.

Hope he plays well enough for that to come to fruition.

FWIW, Sooner fans on reddit absolutely love this guy. Exceptional character kind of kid that was unfortunately put in a square peg/round hole kind of situation (he wanted to play nickel, apparently) and OU played him outside.

Good info, thanks. I'll go w/ Guidry's eval on this one that Davis can help us. That he's a high character kid makes the DB room better that way too.

So you still think we need another outside corner. Are there any worth grabbing that we have a legit shot at?

They want to take a second guy to play outside if possible.
