Several Auburn commits had big games Friday night, but none had bigger than future Tiger quarterback Dematrius Davis.
Davis, a 4-star recruit and the No. 8 dual-threat quarterback nationally in the 247Sports Composite, completed 14 of 20 passes for 197 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also had 78 rushing yards and a touchdown on 14 carries.
The rushing touchdown, a spectacular 20-yard run, put the game away and is the reason he went viral and drew the praise of NFL star Lamar Jackson.

The Mustangs have won two Class 6A Division I state titles under Davis who is now 38-2 as a starter in high school.
Other notes
Ahmari Harvey, 4-star safety, had another big game for Florida State University School, scoring his second and third touchdowns of the season. He returned his second kickoff for a touchdown and recorded a pick-six, both of which can be watched here, in his team’s 30-14 victory.
Armoni Goodwin didn’t find the endzone this week but had another big day for Hewitt-Trussville. Goodwin, the Tigers highest rated offensive player and fourth best player in Alabama and the No. 93 player in the country, had 12 carries for 126 yards, including a 70-yard carry that set up the deciding field goal in the fourth quarter.
Tar’varish Dawson had a 77-yard touchdown reception in Lehigh Acres 21-16 loss.
Auburn continues to be the favorite to land 4-star defensive end Jeremiah Williams and recently picked up another prediction in their favor, the fourth that favors them. Williams is scheduled to announce his decision on Oct. 10 and has reportedly already made his decision.
