Lake Taylor CB Wayne Davis Impresses On & Off The Field

Lake Taylor (Norfolk, VA) junior cornerback Wayne Davis impressed right off the bat in my interview with him at the “The Opening: D.C.” last Sunday. Davis, one of the most highly recruited defensive players in the state of Virginia’s class of 2016, was asked about the individual success he has enjoyed on the gridiron.

“I feed off my D-lineman. They get pressure so quick. We have linemen like Darnell Ewell, Jaylen Cuffee, QuaDennis Perkins, Prezhontay Wilkins, and we also have Marquise Poole coming off the edge. They make my job a whole lot easier,” Davis said.

Davis is quick to give credit to his teammates, which certainly is an admirable trait. He’s talented, too. The 5’11”, 180-pound prospect amassed 22 pass break-ups and had five interceptions his junior season, earning first-team all-Tidewater honors at defensive back and helping Lake Taylor to the 2014 4A state championship.

“We had a great year,” Davis said. “Shiheem (Johnson) filled some big shoes at the quarterback and linebacker positions. We had some transfers, JT Wahee and Mike Carney. Mike Carney did his thing on the O-Line along with 2017 player Darnell Ewell. They had great contributions that helped us win the state championship.”
