Thomas Davis Jr., who is the son of Georgia Bulldogs safety Thomas Davis Sr., has committed to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Davis Jr. is a four-star linebacker recruit in the class of 2026.

Davis Jr. plays high school football for Weddington High School, which is located in Matthews, North Carolina. Davis Jr. is ranked as the No. 164 recruit in the class of 2026. He is the No. 10 linebacker in the country and the No. 11 prospect in North Carolina.

The 6-foot-2, 220-pound linebacker announced his commitment to Notre Dame via social media.

Davis Jr. appears to be taking a different path from his father, who played at Georgia in the early 2000s. However, there is still plenty of time left for Georgia to recruit Davis Jr.

Thomas Davis Sr. was selected to the First All-SEC Team in 2003 and 2004 and earned a consensus All-American selection in 2004. Davis Sr. was a first round NFL draft pick and had a long career in the NFL primarily with the Carolina Panthers. Davis Sr. made three Pro Bowls and earned the Walter Payton Man of the Year award in 2014.
