Syracuse football has landed a transfer quarterback out of the portal in former South Carolina signal caller Braden Davis. Davis signed with the Gamecocks as part of their 2022 recruiting class as a four star quarterback per ESPN. He spent one season with South Carolina, in which he redshirted. The 6-5, 202 pounder has four years of eligibility remaining. He takes the roster spot vacated by Justin Lamson, who entered the transfer portal on the last day it was open following spring ball.

Davis will be coming much closer to home as he graduated from Middletown High School in Delaware. He was named Gatorade Player of the Year in Delaware following the 2021 season. He led his high school to an 11-1 record during his senior season as well as a state championship. He threw for 1,872 yards and 20 touchdowns while rushing for 638 yards and three more scores. He was selected for the Under Armour All-America game. He comes from good bloodlines as his father, Antone Davis, was an offensive lineman at Tennessee before spending several years in the NFL with the Eagles, Falcons and Packers. Antone Davis was the eighth pick in the 1991 NFL Draft.

Out of High School, the younger Davis had offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Cincinnati, Clemson, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Iowa, LSU, Maryland, Michigan State, NC State, Oregon, Penn State, Rutgers, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, Washington State, West Virginia and several others in addition to South Carolina.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
