FSU football coaches wasted no time looking to fill a need at WR.

FSU football recruiting took a hit late Monday night with the departure of four-star wide receiver Malik McClain from the 2021 recruiting class.

The Noles are down to one commitment with three-star Joshua Burrell but have wasted no time in looking to find a playmaker to fill a need at the position.

An offer has gone out to JUCO wide receiver Qua Davis who attends Itawamba Community College in Mississippi.

Davis announced the offer via his Twitter account Tuesday afternoon:

Davis checks in at 6’2″ and 210 pounds with offers from Ole Miss and South Carolina that have all come in the last three days.

He’s had an excellent season with 34 receptions for 588 yards and eight touchdowns in just five games. He was named North First-Team Offense All-MAAAC.

Thoughts

I’m not sure what the competition is like in that conference, but those are some ridiculous numbers through five games. He runs away from defenders and catches the ball with his hands, and seems to be the type of guy you want to get the ball in his hands and let him go to work.

One thing I’ve spoken on a lot the past few years is how difficult it is for freshman wide receivers to make an impact.

That’s why I wasn’t too pressed about Malachi Wideman de-committing last year or Malik McClain Monday night. The benefit of taking someone like Davis is he’s more physically mature and already has some college experience under his belt.

I’m sure he’s still raw, but he has great size and likely can play with a physicality he didn’t have when he was 18 years old. It looks like Davis will be completing his second year at Itawamba and will have multiple years of eligibility left after competing this season.

It’s a good sign the coaching staff can lose a commit unexpectedly and be ready to roll out another quality offer the next day. If he’s looking for a big-time program and playing time, FSU football can offer both or watch the film of Tamorrion Terry the past two years.
