Cedar Hill (Texas) High quarterback Avery Davis submitted his National Letter of Intent to Notre Dame on Wednesday.

Rivals rates the 5-11, 188-pounder as a three-star prospect, the No. 80 player in Texas and the No. 19 dual-threat quarterback in the country.

• As a starter at Cedar Hill, completed 327 of 483 pass attempts for 5,014 yards and accounted for 82 total touchdowns.

Honors
• Named the Texas District 7-6A Offensive Player of the Year.
• Selected to The Dallas Morning News All-Area second team.

Recruitment
• Committed to Notre Dame on May 19, 2016, over 17 other offers, including Baylor, Colorado, Houston, Texas Tech and Utah.
• Primarily recruited by former offensive coordinator Mike Sanford.
• Visited Notre Dame four times and took his official visit on Dec. 9-11 for the Echoes Awards banquet.

Notable
• Born Aug. 26, 1998.
• First quarterback from Texas to sign with Notre Dame since Carlyle Holiday in 2000.

2017 Projection
• With Brandon Wimbush entrenched as the starter, and the return of senior Montgomery VanGorder and sophomore Ian Book, it is expected that Davis will preserve a season of eligibility.

BGI football analyst Bryan Driskell: “It isn’t always pretty, but Avery Davis has proven to be a highly productive football player during his two-year stint as the starter at Cedar Hill. He racked up 5,014 passing yards, 1,376 rushing yards and 82 touchdowns over the last two seasons while throwing just nine interceptions.

“He has a lightning quick release, and when he steps into throws, the ball jumps out of his hand, giving him the ability to make any throw on the field. He is a dynamic runner, but his passing mechanics are a bit erratic.”
