Terwilliger on Davis: "Matthew is a great addition to an already highly productive linebacker unit. He is as athletic of a linebacker as we've had. We had the opportunity to meet him at our camp, he visited our campus in the fall, committed in the winter, and now he is a true Warrior. We can't wait to welcome him to the family."
