Four-star linebacker Anthony Davis Jr. helped lead Grayson High School (Loganville, Georgia) to a 14-1 season and a GHSA 6A state championship as a junior last season.
Despite sharing the field with Tyler Atkinson, the No. 1 linebacker in the country, Davis was extremely productive. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound defender racked up 105 tackles with 15 tackles for loss, three sacks, five pass breakups and an interception.
Davis ranks as the No. 14 linebacker and the No. 24 player in the talent-rich state of Georgia in the class of 2026 (Rivals). He holds 48 offers entering his senior year.

The list includes Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss and Michigan.
All five of Davis’ top schools hauled in top-20 recruiting classes in the 2025 cycle, including Alabama, Auburn, Michigan and Florida within the top 10.
Visit season will be a key part of Davis’ recruitment as he takes official trips to his top contenders.
Auburn is slated to get the first crack this weekend before Davis travels to Ole Miss (June 6) and Alabama (June 20). There is plenty of time for the Wolverines and Gators to schedule visits.
The Under Armour All-American has amassed 172 tackles (21 for loss) with 6.5 sacks, six pass breakups and two interceptions over the last two seasons at high school powerhouse Grayson.
