Penn State not only opened up spring football practice this week, but the Nittany Lions also picked up their first commitment since January. Pittsburgh (Pa.) Imani Christian athlete David Davis pledged to James Franklin and his staff while on campus on Tuesday. The four-star prospect became the ninth member of Penn State’s Class of 2026.
The 5-foot-11, 195-pound prospect had a list of favorites that also included Cincinnati, Michigan State, Nebraska, Pitt and West Virginia. He was last on campus in Happy Valley for Junior Day on Feb. 1.
“My experience in Happy Valley was really memorable,” Davis said. “The brotherhood and electric energy and the community is so supportive. What excites me most about the Nittany Lions is the chance to be part of such a storied program and the opportunity to grow both on and off the field.”
Davis earned an offer from Penn State assistant coach Terry Smith during his freshman season. Originally, the Nittany Lions saw him as a running back, but that’s shifted some following his junior season, as now defensive back appears to be his primary position in the eyes of Penn State’s staff.
