Alhambra receiver Trevor Davis has orally committed to Hawaii next fall, the 6-foot-1, 165-pound senior confirmed.
“I really liked the atmosphere when I went for my visit,” Davis said. “I had the opportunity to meet the coaches and had a chance to attend their banquet and hang out with the team.”
Davis chose Hawaii over Idaho, which was the first school to offer him a full scholarship. Davis ran the 40-yard dash in 4.45 seconds, an improvement from the 4.6-4.7 range he ran last year.
“When I visited Idaho, I didn’t have a chance to meet very many people there,” Davis added. “Then when I met everybody at Hawaii, I felt the togetherness there like they were one big family.”
This season, Davis hauled in 43 passes for 876 yards and nine touchdowns as the Bulldogs went 7-4 this year, which included a 21-12 loss to San Marin-Novato in the first round of the North Coast Section Division III playoffs.

This week, Jimmy and the Geek travel to the site of the North Coast Section Division I and II football championships to preview the section finals. Enjoy!
