Chad Davis has verbally committed to play football next fall at UC Davis.
The Palma linebacker will make it official on Feb. 6. This is a good spot for Davis, who at 6-feet and a shad under 200 pounds, will be allowed to develop.
In some ways, Davis reminds me of former Salinas High standout and UCLA linebacker Christian Taylor, who despite being undersized at 210 pounds, became a valuable member of the Bruins defense the past two seasons.
Davis, the Herald's Defensive Player of the Year last fall, is the second player from Monterey County to receive a football scholarship.
Seaside's Deionte Gordon is headed to Sacramento State as a defensive back-receiver.
Last year Davis led the Chieftains in tackles, helping them to the postseason for the 23rd straight year.
Davis is the second athlete from Monterey County to receive an athletic scholarship to UC Davis this year.
Salinas senior shortstop Michael Aldrete signed with Davis to play baseball in the spring of 2009.
John Devine has been writing about high school sports in Monterey County since, well, practically since he was an athlete at King City in the days just after leather helmets. In PrepNation, John has even more in-depth analysis of the latest results and news he's brought to you in The Herald and in his weekly videos.
