Scouting Report
Overview
About Owen
It's rare for a specialist to earn a Notre Dame offer this early in the recruiting process. It's even rarer to justify it with measurable data. Owen Davies has done exactly that. Already verbally committed to the Fighting Irish, Davies has established himself as one of the premier specialists in the 2028 recruiting class through elite verified performance and one of the strongest TrackMan résumés in the country. His advanced metrics already compare favorably with many current Division I kickers, making him one of the most exciting young prospects in America. Despite still being just a junior in high school, Davies is already striking a true Division I football with remarkable consistency. His combination of natural leg talent, technical refinement, and measurable production has quickly separated him from his peers and positioned him as one of the foundation pieces of Notre Dame's future special teams unit. As he enters the next stage of his development, Davies has all the tools to continue climbing nationally while preparing for the expectations that come with wearing one of college football's most prestigious uniforms.
KT Evaluation
Evaluated Jul 24, 2026Owen Davies is one of the most advanced young ball strikers in the country, and his TrackMan data backs it up. His operation is efficient, repeatable, and explosive, allowing him to consistently produce a football that already projects to the Division I level. On field goals, Davies averaged a ball that was good from 56 yards, producing an outstanding 70.1 mph ball speed while clearing the line of scrimmage at 10.8 feet. Those are elite numbers for a 2028 prospect and demonstrate both exceptional leg speed and outstanding trajectory. More importantly, the consistency of his contact allows him to reproduce that level of performance kick after kick. His kickoff profile is equally impressive. Davies averaged 73-yard kickoffs with 4.12 seconds of hang time, 76.3 mph ball speed, and a 31-degree launch angle—numbers that would be considered outstanding for many current Division I specialists. His ability to pair distance with quality hang time reflects both natural power and advanced technical efficiency. What stands out most is how polished his mechanics already are. Davies creates excellent leverage through contact, stays balanced throughout his swing, and consistently produces a clean end-over-end football. There is very little wasted movement in his operation, allowing his natural athleticism to translate directly into elite ball striking. KT Recruiting Evaluation Owen Davies is already hitting a true Division I football as a high school junior, and his verified TrackMan numbers place him among the very best prospects in the 2028 class. His measurable production isn't simply good for his age—it is competitive with many scholarship specialists currently playing college football. Notre Dame identified an elite talent early in the recruiting process, and we believe they secured one of the biggest long-term commitments in the 2028 class. Davies possesses the technical foundation, physical ability, and measurable performance to develop into one of the nation's premier collegiate kickers. If he continues progressing at his current rate, he has the potential to become one of the defining specialists of his recruiting class.
