Wyatt Davis decided to opt out around the time Wade did so he too could prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft. Once the Big Ten changed their mind, so did he. Now Davis has a chance to win a national title before becoming a first-round draft pick.

Davis is the only current player to be selected to BTN’s All-Decade team, so you know he is thought of in high regard. He was a consensus First-Team All-American coming into this season as well and is projected to be a first-round pick and the second guard taken.

With another big season, Davis could vault himself into that number one guard spot and potentially be a top-15 pick. Guards are rarely taken in the top 5, so a top-10 spot might be the absolute best-case scenario for him with a great season.

A bad season would see Davis slip to the middle of the second round. It’s extremely unlikely that Davis would have a bad enough season for that to happen unless he gets significantly injured. Even then he would be a steal for whatever team decides to take him at that spot.

Davis is a very strong player who can move the line of scrimmage with ease on run plays. In passing situations, he uses his hands very well to keep tackles, and some ends, in front of him. He looks to be a good pro for a very long time at the next level.

Next, we take a look at the Buckeyes’ best receiver on the roster and someone who is poised to have a monster 2020 season.
