“(Jadyn Davis) is a two-time Mr. Football in North Carolina,” Jim Harbaugh said, talking about his new QB. “The thing that’s — we can talk a lot about what already happened, but the latest is being able to watch him on the field and get to coach him.

“The thing that is sticking out is like one book — you give him a coaching point — like I’ve given him four now since he’s been here, and he gets it immediately. It is the next rep — he’s doing it exactly how I just explained it. Just the intelligence, the athleticism it takes to do that I’ve found is rare, that you have that — you can understand something, and then athletically be able to just repeat — just go do it, as opposed to many reps, much time on task.

“He’s got the ability to visualize what you’re saying and then athletic enough to immediately replicate it. That’s special. That’s something I’ve noticed immediately.”

Harbaugh excited to coach Jadyn Davis

This next quote really stands out for the Michigan football program ahead of the offseason. Harbaugh, who will likely have to make yet another NFL decision in the coming winter, said that he’s excited to coach Davis, who is currently the No. 7 QB in the 2024 composite rankings.

“(Jadyn Davis) is a great guy,” Harbaugh said. “(I’m) so excited to coach him.”
