Landen Davidson Is My Favorite Commit In The 2024 Class. Here’s Why.
Steven Branscombe-USA TODAY Sports We have a class full o’ stars, but Davidson shines the brightest. It doesn’t take a neurosurgeon to figure out that Nebraska’s offensive line has been unabashed filth going on almost 10 years now.

If the “My Guy” factor is removed, is there really a controversy at this point in time? | Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Even a mid-major week can’t pass without a junk punch, more fawning over Colorado and a QB “controversy” only defensible on one side.
