Class of 2012 running back and current Florida commit Mike Davis took part in the The Opening, a recruiting combine on the Nike Campus in Oregon.
And according to many recruiting analysts that were in attendance, Davis was one of the most impressive recruits there, if not the best.
One of the things that Davis impressed those at the combine the most was his breakaway speed. According to Rivals.com analyst Adam Gorney, Davis was never caught by a linebacker when being chased down.
He has been clocked at a 4.5 40-yard dash time, which many analysts believed was a weakness of Davis.
But Gorney said Davis was impressive in all of the running drills. In fact, he ran much faster in person compared to what other recruiting websites have said about him.
He was very explosive and simply dominated many of the linebackers that were at the camp along with Davis.
Davis is a running back from Stephenson High School in Stone Mountain, Georgia, which has been a Florida pipeline so far this season.
He is a powerful back who can really run between the tackles, a style of running that the Gators have not seen in a long time.
Both he and fellow running back commit Matt Jones expect to be an excellent running back tandem over the next several years for the Gators.

Not only was Davis impressing the recruiting websites, but he also was impressing fellow recruits.
Apparently, if Davis was not on the field, he was chatting it up with other players and talking to them about checking out Florida.
It is great to see a player not only give it his all on the field, but off the field as well and promoting the University of Florida.
Look for Mike Davis to shoot up recruiting rankings across the Internet after his very impressive weekend at The Opening.
