Devron Davis of Merced College - who emerged as a highly recruited junior college cornerback in late April of this year - decided to end his recruiting process on Tuesday, May 5, by committing to Louisville.

Davis, who's a returning sophomore at MC, landed five scholarship offers from April 20 to April 25. But Davis said the opportunity to play in the Atlantic Coast Conference energized him.

"I'm extremely excited and I can't wait to beat Florida State," Davis said.

The 6-foot, 200-pound cornerback added that the UL coaching staff made an impression on him.

"They treated me like a regular person and gave me their full attention," Davis said. "All around, it was just perfect (for me)."

Davis' other offers were from Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech, Georgia Southern and Arkansas State.
