Kingston Davis
Name: Kingston Davis
Height: 6’1″
Weight: 225 lbs.
High school: Prattville (AL) Prattville
Position: Running back
Class: Freshman
Jersey number: #23
Last year: Davis was a senior in high school (LINK). He rushed 242 times for 1,656 yards (6.8 yards/carry) and 19 touchdowns.
Final TTB Rating: 70
Following the signing of 2015 cornerback Keith Washington from Prattville, Davis committed to the Wolverines in April 2015. After all, Washington was the quarterback who handed Davis the ball for most of his carries in 2014. At one point during the camp season last year, Davis checked in at 242 lbs. Despite his bulk, he insists he wants to be a running back in college, and he has slimmed down some since then to his official weight of 225. Regardless, he set school rushing records and picked up offers from Florida, Nebraska, and Ole Miss before enrolling at Michigan in January.
Davis didn’t create much buzz in the spring and dealt with a minor injury for part of the practice session. I think he’s the type of guy who may need a year or two of strength and conditioning work to reach his potential. On top of reshaping his body a bit, he has plenty of running backs ahead of him on the depth chart. De’Veon Smith, Drake Johnson, and Ty Isaac have all established themselves somewhat, and Karan Higdon got some experience last season. It’s not out of the question for Davis to contribute this season, but a fifth year of eligibility down the road might be helpful if he turns into a 230- or 240-pound beast who can pound teams to death.
Prediction: Redshirt

Name: Andrew David
Height: 5’9″
Weight: 178 lbs.
High school: Massillon (OH) Washington
Position: Kicker
Class: Redshirt freshman
Jersey number: #16
Last year: I ranked David #69 and said he would be a backup kicker. He redshirted.
David came to Michigan last season as someone with an opportunity to play early. His competition for the kicking job came from walk-ons like Kenny Allen, Kyle Seychel, and others. As a highly rated kicker, he seemed to have a fighting chance. Seychel was thought to be the front-runner for the kicking job coming out of the spring, because Allen had mostly been a punter during his first three years on campus. However, Allen won the job, relegating David to backup status. And it’s not often that a backup kicker is necessary.
This season David finds himself in a similar situation: looking up at Kenny Allen. Allen could very well pull double duty as the punter and placekicker this season, but now there’s some added competition in #1 overall class of 2016 kicker Quinn Nordin. After watching David kick in the spring, I think the Wolverines are in some serious trouble if Allen and Nordin don’t get the job done or get injured. Nordin’s an unknown quantity coming out of high school, but with David on the roster, the coaching staff still went hard after Nordin. My guess is that David will be the third-string kicker this season.
Prediction: Backup kicker
