Davila is plenty familiar to offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. Holgorsen, while at Houston, recruited Davila late in the process before the quarterback ultimately chose Purdue. Davila accounted for 9,000 yards and nearly 100 touchdowns in high school and played high level football in Texas. Despite not taking a snap last season at Purdue, he’ll have a chance to compete for the backup job behind Raiola and show Holgorsen that he was right to pursue the quarterback a second time.
“Really I just feel like this is going to bring the best competitor out of me,” Davila told Husker247 after he committed in December. “I’ve always been super competitive. I feel like it’s just going to be a good thing for the team, just being able to push him and push myself. I feel like it’s just going to set me up for success further down the road.”
