Malachi Davis (Syndication: Lansing State Journal)
The Syracuse football defense received a nice boost on Friday when 2022 three-star defensive end Malachi Davis out of Michigan verbally committed to the Orange.
The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Davis, a junior from Holt Senior High School in Holt, Mich., is a top-65 strong-side defensive end in this cycle, according to the 247Sports Composite.
Per a review of several recruiting Web sites, Davis held about a dozen offers, from teams such as Air Force, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, Louisville, Tulane, Vanderbilt and Western Michigan.
I read a handful of articles about Davis, and some recruiting analysts describe him as possessing solid speed, length and athleticism.
