Jeilani Davis brings elite Mater Dei pedigree and ball-hawking upside to Montana’s secondary
A former top-20 national defensive back prospect from Mater Dei, Davis arrives at Montana as a rangy, physical safety with proven ball skills, including five interceptions as a senior and track-speed athleticism that shows up on the back end. He did not see game action at Utah, so the upside is still projection, but his high-level prep production, special-teams-friendly frame, and reputation from an elite program make him an intriguing fit for a defense that values versatile, instinctive secondary play.
