Four-star tight end recruit Charles Davis is set to announce his college commitment on Friday, April 10th. The 6'5" 187-pound prospect from California is considering offers from the Oregon Ducks, UCLA Bruins, and Cal Bears, with his older brother Niles currently playing safety for the Golden Bears.

Why it matters

Davis is a top-10 tight end and top-20 overall recruit from California, making him a highly coveted prospect on the West Coast. The competition between Oregon, UCLA, and Cal highlights the intense recruiting battles for elite talent in the region.
