2020 2-5 FG=40%.
Career at UT(2 seasons) 3-7 FG 30-39 yds. Those should be gimmees. Looked like he lost his confidence and was pressing too much. Kicking FGs is very much like a golf swing. Sometimes you just need a wedge for a chipshot or pull out the driver, but still need that focus and smooth
Stroke.

When I first got here I thought Davis was going to be a star then he seemed to develop the Yipps and was unable to fix the problem.

RE: Transfer portal link
UT still looking for OL help, and have offered Grad Transfer 6'7 330 OL Justin Redd from Norfolk State.
Reportedly conference lineman of the year. Not too many other offers yet, that I see in his twitter feed.

No excuses for Davis freshman year in 2019. Started great, but he hit the proverbial wall toward the end and fell off.
In 2020, he was in quarantine several times, including being out for a couple weeks for COVID to begin the season. Missed the first game, then played after barely any practice. Couldn’t get on track quickly enough in the six game season.
This season, he was absolutely ready, confident, and kicking strongly in practice. No explanation why he was not ever used after Cluckey began to struggle.
He is graduating in May with three years of eligibility.

Tough break with the covid. Glad to hear he hung in to get the degree. I know he's got the leg, good luck!!!

Jalynn Williams also in the portal.
Actually I am not surprised about Winstead. It is likely he came to UT after seeing Thompson/Johnson/Johnson do so well and get shots at the NFL, to show off his skills for the scouts. I had expected he would be the #1 receiver last year, but he could never get past Mitchell and Maddox, and then Landers clearly surpassed him late in the year. Blankumsee was also coming on, and there are players like Newton and Zsiros in the wings, so how many looks was he really gonna get next year? He looks frustrated and unhappy on the field all last season - maybe he wasn't, as it is always hard to say for sure from the stands, but he sure looked it with a lot of his body language.

Looks like he was a little upset that he is no longer WR #1...

RE: Transfer portal link
So we just signed a transfer WR from TCU, Mikel Barkley. Didn’t see that one coming. Maybe we’ll still land an FBS O-lineman from the portal?

Dropped too many passes to my liking. Landers for sure is better.
