Kyle Davis has had about enough of the interviews that come with the recruiting process, but the five-star wide receiver from the Atlanta area took a couple of minutes to tell GoVols247 how much he enjoyed his Saturday visit to Tennessee for Orange Carpet Day.

“I enjoyed it all. Everything. Every little thing about it,” Davis said after his visit. “I mean, every time I go up to a school, they roll out … well, in this case, they roll out an orange carpet. But it was great, man.

“When I walked in, it blew me away.”

The Vols invited a select group of their top targets to Knoxville for Orange Carpet Day, and Davis said that smaller group was something he “really, really” enjoyed.

“It was great to get, you know, acquainted with some of the coaches instead of having everybody else here,” he said. “It was good to have some one-on-one time. I don’t like to have everybody there at the same time, ‘cause if I’m planning on going to a school, I want to get to know the coaches better.”

“They were all really cool guys.”

Davis, the nation’s No. 46 overall prospect in the 2016 industry-generated 247Sports Composite and the nation’s No. 13 overall prospect (and No. 1 wide receiver) according to 247Sports, said the one-on-one time with Tennessee’s staff helped the Vols’ cause in his recently-reopened recruitment.

“Oh, they’re great. They stand out a lot,” Davis said. “They’re very energetic, and I like that. It fits my personality, as well.”

A full day to hang out with several Tennessee players and several of the Vols’ top commitments —Â including highly touted quarterback Jarrett Guarantano from New Jersey —Â was also big for Davis.

“Just the environment here was great, and Jarrett, that’s my guy, man,” Davis said. “Just the company and the social aspect of it were great.”

Davis said having a quarterback he knows, likes and respects in his class is important to him, and that his growing relationship with Guarantano is a good thing for the Vols.

“Actually we talked more about music and how we’re doing and stuff. We were getting to know each other a little better,” Davis said. “I’m just looking for stability in a quarterback, you know? That’s very important. It’s very important that you have somebody [at quarterback] going with you.

“It’s also important that you like the person that’s throwing it to you.”

Of course, Tennessee isn’t the only school recruiting the 6-foot-1.5, 218-pound Davis. And the Vols aren’t the only program on his list with a highly touted quarterback commitment.

The nation’s No. 1 wideout joked that he’s hearing from “a lot” of quarterback commitments from programs across the country.

“Yeah, a lot of ‘em,” he said with a laugh. “I’m not gonna say who, but yeah, there’s a lot of ‘em.”

Davis, who’s planning to make only one more visit (to South Carolina) this summer, said he’s looking forward to starting his senior year and getting to focus as much on actual football as his recruitment.

The big receiver clearly doesn’t love all the attention that comes with players of his caliber, and he said that was one of the reasons he initially committed to South Carolina before realizing that was “a mistake.”

“I mean, when I shut it down, I really shut it down,” he said. “I was just tired of everything. I was overwhelmed. Then I opened it back up, but I’m still taking it slow. I pick and choose who I’m gonna talk to.

“You know, if I still would have had it shut down, and y’all were calling me, I still would have (stayed quiet). I mean, I’m not trying to disrespect y’all, but that’s just how I was. I was fed up with it. I was like, ‘Man, this is too much.’”

Tennessee, Georgia and Auburn seem to have plenty of momentum in Davis’ recruitment, but he’s publicly insisting that every program in his top 10 list has an equal shot at this point.

“No, not at the moment,” Davis said when asked if he had a smaller group of leaders. “Like, I did a top 10 just because everybody was asking. So I was like, ‘There’s my top 10.’”

Davis said he’s “trying” to take all five official visits this fall, and he has to squeeze them in this fall since he’s planning to enroll somewhere in January.

As for whether Tennessee or any other program has nailed down a spot on that list, though, Davis is also keeping that close to the vest.

“It’s too early to know,” he said. “I’m just not sure yet.”
