Davis embracing new experiences

ATLANTA -- Mizzou wide receiver commit Da'Ron Davis had never travelled by airplane until this morning. The Kansas City native is not a big fan of heights and admitted he was pretty nervous as he prepared for his first flight. That nervousness dissipated fairly quickly though.

"Once we got in the air it was pretty steady so I was like, 'Okay, they know what they're doing.'," the newly minted four-star prospect explained.

The learning experience wasn't over then though. When Davis woke up from his nap he experienced a new phenomenon.

"When I woke up I kind of felt weird. I started rubbing my ears and then they just popped. It was crazy," said Hogan Prep athlete.

Now that he knows what to expect Davis is even kind of looking forward to the return flight home. As long as they keep that plane steady again.

Who you representing?

Three Missouri particpants in the 2016 Rivals.com Five-Star Challenge presented by Under Armour is a new record for the Show-Me State. Previously the high was two in 2014.

PowerMizzou.com talked to each Missourian and asked them if they felt like they were representing their home town or home state in Atlanta.

Da'Ron Davis: "Probably both. Maybe more Kansas City. No one from Kansas City had been invited to the camp before me from what I've been told. I'm representing the Missouri Tigers too. To be the first to represent Kansas City and Mizzou is really nice. I never thought I'd do anything like this. It's all because of my father. He made me put in the work. It's all because of him."

Marquis Hayes: "I think I'm representing St. Louis more. I want to put St. Louis on the map."

Trevor Trout: "St. Louis. I mean Missouri is cool, but it's St. Louis. Marquis and I have everyone rooting for us back home."
