Hometown hammer with early-play upside for Texas State
Darius Davis is a 2026 linebacker from San Marcos High who committed to Texas State in June 2025 and officially signed in December 2025; listed around 6-1 to 6-2 and 220 pounds, he was ranked as a three-star and around No. 171 nationally at linebacker by one outlet in 2025. The buzz is about his toughness, communication, and run-stuffing ability — Texas Football described him as the quarterback of the defense, while Texas State coaches reportedly viewed him as a player who could see early snaps. He also brings hometown pride, multi-position versatility, and a physical style that fits a gritty defense.
