Wisconsin Football Commit Nolan Davenport: Scouting Report
Davenport is a dual-sport athlete at Massillon Washington, excelling in both football and baseball. This past season, he transitioned from tight end to offensive line, marking his debut in that position.
Standing at 6-foot-6 and weighing 280 pounds, Davenport has an ideal frame for a college-level offensive tackle. With the help of Brady Collins’ strength and conditioning program, he has the potential to add more quality weight.
Davenport is adept in pass protection, showcasing a strong kick step and quick lateral movement, enabling him to cover ground effectively and prevent defenders from gaining an edge. While he might not be the fastest in run-blocking scenarios, his aggressiveness at the point of contact compensates for this.
A standout feature in Davenport’s highlights is his ability to finish plays. He plays through the whistle, using his upper body strength to dominate defenders and remove them from the play.
Despite being relatively inexperienced on the offensive line, Davenport’s potential and athleticism are evident. He possesses the size and skills to develop into a reliable tackle if he fully harnesses his abilities.
Overall, Wisconsin is acquiring a high-potential prospect with the physicality, athleticism, and strength to succeed at the next level. Though still developing, Davenport is positioned well for growth at Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin football program now has 14 commitments for the 2025 recruiting cycle, currently ranked as the No. 15 class in the nation according to composite rankings.
