South Carolina quarterback commit Braden Davis has big half in season debut
Braden Davis got his senior year off to a strong start even if it was just for a half.
The South Carolina Class of 2022 quarterback commit was 9-of-13 passing for 237 yards and two touchdowns in just two quarters in Middletown’s 32-6 win over Meade on Friday in Delaware. Davis said the game was called at halftime after Meade lost too many players because of injury and had one player taken off on a stretcher.
Davis was glad to be back on the field after missing most of last year with an ankle injury. He played last season in Florida because of Delaware delaying the start of football because of COVID. In three games last year he was 21-of-47 passing for 261 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions, and he rushed for 44 yards and two scores.
Davis committed to USC in May and was one of the cornerstones in USC’s Class of 2022.
