4-star LB Anthony Davis commits to Ole Miss over Michigan

Loganville (Ga.) Grayson four-star linebacker Anthony Davis has committed to Ole Miss, he announced Saturday night. His official visit in June sealed the deal for the 2026 target for Rebels defensive coordinator Pete Golding.

“Ole Miss has recruited me as hard as anyone lately,” Davis said ahead of the decision. “I like their staff a lot and their defensive stats have been through the roof. The connections I have built are real.”

He picked Ole Miss over the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Michigan and numerous others. Davis gives the Rebels another blue-chip linebacker to go with the nation’s No. 1 linebacker, Izayia Williams.

The 6-1, 205-pounder loved his time in Oxford with the staff on his visit and that was an added data point that the staff was making him a priority.

“Coach Golding’s been my guy,” Davis said after his visit. “He’s been recruiting me for a minute so just building that bond with him has been great. Taking football knowledge from him has been great. He’s one of the greats to do it. It was really great to sit down in meetings and him go over football and talk football, it was a fun experience. 

“They’re multiple, they blitz a lot, they have different type of schemes. That D-line helps out and it’s a good thing for me because the D-line will always be very, very good. Playing with a good D-line and the D-line doing stunts just keeps you free to make plays.”

According to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting media companies, Davis is the No. 298 overall prospect in the country and No. 20 linebacker nationally.
