Stephen Davis Jr. says he committed to Auburn 'too early'
Last August Stephen Davis Jr. committed to Auburn, where his father was a running back during the 1990s.
During a Nike camp interview with 247Sports Saturday in Charlotte, the four-star safety prospect from Irmo, S.C., indicated that decision may have been a bit premature.
"I think I committed too early," Davis said. "Also, I think they signed a little too many DBs this past year."
The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder added he is currently "70 percent" committed to the Tigers, who signed defensive backs Jordan Colbert, Carlton Davis, Javarius Davis, Jeremiah Dinson and Tim Irvin in February. Auburn also picked up a commitment from 2016 cornerback John Broussard Thursday.
Davis last visited the Plains in March and hopes to return later this month for Big Cat Weekend, Auburn's biggest recruiting event of the spring. He's also considering visits to UCLA and Florida State, while Clemson and South Carolina remain factors.
"When I take my visits to UCLA and Florida State, if I fall in love it might change," he said. "I think (the Tigers) have a great defense. They have Coach (Will) Muschamp and Coach (Travaris) Robinson. I think they're wonderful coaches. It's just that I want to experience my recruitment a little bit."
Davis earned an invitation to Nike's The Opening after his showing at Saturday's camp. He is ranked as the nation's No. 17 athlete in the 247Sports Composite
