Titan Davis is a 4-star defensive lineman (No. 114 nationally per 247Sports, 0.95 composite) out of De Smet Jesuit in St. Louis who signed with Michigan after a finish that came down to the Wolverines and Alabama. A former prep quarterback who grew into one of the premier interior pass rushers in the 2026 cycle, he pairs verified size (6'4", 271 lbs, 78⅛" wingspan) with rare first-step quickness and positional versatility across even and odd fronts.

Physical Profile

Verified at the 2026 Navy All-American Bowl at 6'4", 271 pounds with 34¼" arms and a 78⅛" wingspan — legitimate interior-line length on a frame that has already added roughly 30 pounds since his junior season (listed 6'5", 240 earlier in the cycle). That growth curve matters: he carries the new mass without losing the burst and hip fluidity that defined his edge tape, and the wingspan gives him the reach to play 3-technique, 4i, or big end. Frame comfortably projects to 285-295 at the college level.

Play Style

Plays with his hair on fire. Davis is a penetration-first interior rusher who fires low out of his stance, wins with leverage and hand violence, and turns speed to power when guards overset. On film he flashes point-guard-level lateral agility to split doubles and closes on the quarterback with genuine short-area explosion. Effort is a defining trait — he routinely runs down screens and outside zone from the backside. His background at quarterback shows up in pre-snap recognition and pursuit angles.

Strengths

  • Elite get-off for an interior player — tremendous burst off the line of scrimmage that consistently beats guards to the half-man relationship before they finish their set
  • Violent, active hands paired with natural leverage from a two- or three-point stance; evaluators compared his lateral agility splitting double teams to a point guard splitting a trap
  • Alignment versatility and a heady, high-motor approach — a former quarterback's processing shows in how he reads blocking schemes, cuts angles, and chases ball carriers sideline to sideline; productive senior year (6.5+ TFL, 4.5+ sacks) against Missouri Class 6 competition on a state-championship program

Areas to Improve

  • Anchor and play strength against double teams and downhill gap schemes — he wins with quickness and leverage now, but needs a college weight program to hold the point at 290+ against Big Ten interior lines
  • Pass-rush plan refinement — the burst and hands are ahead of the counter-move library; developing a consistent second and third move will determine whether he's a rotational disruptor or an every-down force

College Projection

Signed with Michigan, where DL coach Lou Esposito's rotation-heavy front is an ideal landing spot. Expect a developmental redshirt-or-rotational year one while he adds mass, meaningful pass-rush-package snaps at 3-tech by year two, and a starting interior role by year three. His versatility to play anywhere from 4i to shaded nose in sub-packages accelerates his path to the field relative to a scheme-locked prospect.

NFL Outlook

Legitimate early-round developmental profile. Interior rushers with his first-step quickness, 78⅛" wingspan, and positional flexibility are among the scarcest commodities in the draft, and evaluators have already flagged eventual early-round consideration if the physical development continues. The realistic range is Day 2 with Day 1 upside if the counter moves and anchor catch up to the athletic tools — Michigan's recent track record of developing interior linemen into high picks works in his favor.

Best Fit

A multiple front that lets him attack rather than two-gap — exactly what he signed up for at Michigan. He's maximized as a movable interior piece in an aggressive, penetration-based scheme: 3-technique in four-down looks, 4i/5-tech in odd fronts, and an inside rusher in NASCAR pass-rush packages. Programs with strong strength-and-conditioning infrastructure get the most out of his frame trajectory.

Player Comparison

Myles Jack UCLA • Jacksonville Jaguars 88% match

Jack entered college as a highly-rated (4-star) versatile athlete at 6'1" 245 lbs with similar positional flexibility, playing both linebacker and running back at UCLA. Like Davis, he possessed elite athleticism and football instincts that allowed him to impact multiple phases of the game before settling into linebacker, demonstrating the same type of versatile skill set that makes prospects valuable before position specialization occurs.
