BYU Football’s Isaac Davis Shows Promise at Freshman Orientation Camp
The buzz surrounding BYU Football’s 2024 recruiting class is starting to build, and one of the early standouts is freshman offensive lineman Isaac Davis. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound lineman from Idaho made an immediate impression during BYU’s recent freshman orientation camp — and Cougar coaches are taking notice.
Davis, a 4-star recruit and one of the highest-rated signees in BYU’s incoming class, arrived on campus ready to compete. Known for his physicality and football IQ, Davis looked the part in drills and team walkthroughs, displaying quick feet, strong technique, and a calm, confident demeanor that belies his youth.
Coaches praised his attitude and preparedness, with one staff member reportedly saying, “He came in like he’s already been in the program for a year.” That kind of early impact is rare, especially for offensive linemen who typically need a redshirt year to develop physically and mentally.
Davis has long been on BYU’s radar, choosing the Cougars over offers from Utah, Oregon, and others. His commitment was seen as a big win for the program, both for his talent and for what it signaled about BYU’s ability to recruit top-tier linemen heading into their second Big 12 season.
Though it’s too early to project Davis as a Week 1 starter, there’s a growing sense that he’ll push veterans for playing time sooner than expected. His development will be worth watching throughout fall camp.
As BYU looks to bounce back from a 5–7 season, players like Isaac Davis represent the future. If his early showings are any indication, the future in Provo’s trenches is bright. Cougar fans should be excited — Davis might just be the cornerstone of BYU’s next great offensive line.
