Colorado State continues to make inroads on the 2016 recruiting class, picking up a seventh verbal commitment from junior college cornerback Devron Davis.

Davis, who had 33 tackles and three interceptions last season at Merced Community College (Calif.), is the fourth verbal commitment the Rams have received from the juco ranks. He is also the fifth three-star commitment the program has added, according to Rivals.com. He had offers from bigger Power 5 schools, but Davis said he liked the fact CSU was on him quick, as well as what they had to offer.

“It was just the coaching staff,” Davis said. “They’re very energetic, very truthful, and they just get after you. I like the scenery there, the players and the former players. I liked everything they brought to the table.

“Colorado State is an up-and-coming program, and I can’t wait to be a Ram. I want to be a part of building something up. I don’t want to be a part of something that’s already built. Coach (Terry) Fair and Coach (Mike) Bobo told me how they mapped out what I can do for myself and what I can do for the team. The biggest part for me is the team.”

Five of the commitments have come in the past 10 days for Colorado State, with Davis being the first defensive back. He said his parents still want him to make his other official visits, adding in his heart he knew where he wanted to be.

“That’s Colorado State,” said Davis, who describes himself as a fierce, physical cornerback who likes to play tight coverage. He said he is taking online classes and hopes to be able to graduate in December so he can sign then and be on campus in time for spring camp next year.
