Another day, another accolade for a member of Ohio State's 2017 class.
In a week where Buckeye commits Shaun Wade and Tate Martell both collected national player of the year honors, five-star offensive line commit Wyatt Davis was named the L.A. Times' Southern California player of the year.
The Times' recounted Davis' domination this season:
It was a scene almost never seen in championship game history.
Fans, coaches and players watching the Southern Section Division I final between Bellflower St. John Bosco and Santa Ana Mater Dei viewed the unfolding story: An offensive lineman was single-handedly affecting plays again and again.
Wyatt Davis, St. John Bosco’s 6-foot-5, 315-pound senior tackle, had been moved to offensive guard for the game, and whenever he lined up on the left side or right side, good things happened.
“I don’t know in all my years of coaching I could say an offensive lineman absolutely dominated a football game,” Coach Jason Negro said. “I’ve never seen that. He was pretty phenomenal.”
It wasn’t only in the championship game that Davis asserted himself. He played in all 15 games for St. John Bosco, which won the Division I championship and CIF state championship Open Division bowl game.
Davis committed to the Buckeyes in June and is Ohio State's highest-rated commit on the interior offensive line.
