Former soccer standout Drake Davis a 'premier athlete' and budding LSU wideout

LSU has three receivers ranked ahead of the rest with D.J. Chark, Russell Gage and Derrick Dillon, according to coach Ed Orgeron.

Yet there is still time for more wideouts to move into that group before the Sept. 2 opener against BYU at NRG Stadium in Houston.

Drake Davis hopes to be one of those players. This time, he shouldn't need to sneak onto the field like he did to help cover a kickoff last season against Texas A&M.

"As receivers, we're all just kind of trying to earn our spots," Davis said.

Davis as a true freshman last season caught one pass for 19 yards, and that came in the second game against Jacksonville State.
