North Shore freshman quarterback Dematrius Davis busted onto the scene in 2017.
The freshman's first start at quarterback for Houston football power, North Shore, came in the first round of the playoffs.
Davis ended up guiding the Mustangs all the way to the Region III-6A Quarterfinals against Katy.
In Davis' four playoff games he passed for 814 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. Davis completed 60 percent of his passes going 43 of 71 in those four games.
Thanks to that playoff surge, Davis has had a very busy offseason.
Davis competed at the Nike Football The Opening at Legacy Stadium in March, recently at the Rivals Three-Stripe camp and has been making visits.
Davis visited Texas and Texas A&M in February to start the tour. Last weekend, Davis went downtown to visit with the University of Houston and coach Major Applewhite and the next day traveled to Waco to check out Baylor.
"I like it, the coaches at these colleges talk to me in a good way giving me the feeling that I can play at the next level," Davis said about his recent visits.
Davis currently holds an official offer from Baylor and said coaches for the Bears talked to him the entire time about playing quarterback for them.
Davis is planning on visiting the University of Louisiana at Lafayette this weekend. Davis may also visit LSU as well since he will be in the state.
Davis told VYPE he will be visiting Rice University on April 21 as well.
The Houston Astros announced on Monday that additional imaging has revealed that Jeremy Peña is dealing with a small fracture in one of his ribs.
Peña left Friday's game after being hit by a pitch in the ribs. The club originally believed they had avoided any fractures or breaks, but new information has informed them otherwise.

Peña is heading to the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 28. This news comes at an unfortunate time, with Jeremy posting the best regular season numbers of his career. He's currently slashing .322, .378, .489 with an .867 OPS.
Peña will miss the Rockies and Dodgers series at a minimum.
Story on Peña headed to the IL with quotes from Dana Brown.
“This isn’t one of those things where you have to be sidelined the whole time. Once the inflammation goes down, he might feel good enough to swing a bat.” https://t.co/ih2G09Jpcf

Let's hope the team doesn't rush him back too soon and create an even bigger problem. These quotes above from Dana Brown have me concerned. Playing through injuries can create bad habits, and Jeremy has clearly found his swing this season.
