Davin Davidson is a jumbo quarterback prospect with a big league arm. The physical profile and playing style reminds us of Josh Freeman. Like Davidson, Freeman was a talented, developmental quarterback. The comparison is a high-end one as Freeman ended up as a first-rounder. 

Towering quarterback prospect with a big-time arm and intriguing upside. The tallest top quarterback in the 2027 cycle. Measured in at 6-foot-6.5, 215 pounds with a 9.75-inch hand prior to his senior season. Touts outstanding arm strength with the ability to generate a ton of zip on passes to the intermediate and deep areas of the field. Can rip the football on a line from 30 yards out. Shows flashes of arm dexterity. A solid mover at his size. Completed 64.6% of his passes for 2360 yards, 23 touchdowns against 6 interceptions while helping his team to a state title. A low  volume passer attempting a little over 14 passes per game and accounting for 163 total yards per game as a junior. As a result is still early in his development in comparison with his blue-chip peers. As a taller, longer quarterback will need to continue tightening up his mechanics and footwork. Will also need to improve at changing speeds, as he’s primarily a fastball thrower at this point. Should benefit greatly from increased in-game reps. Has a high upside, but may be a few years away.
