“He did commit to East Carolina,’’ said Jeff Sims, the coach at Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College, where Davis is playing this season, in an e-mail yesterday.

Davis has guided Fort Scott to a 9-0 record and a playoff berth, throwing for 1,042 yards with 6 touchdowns and 7 interceptions.

The 6-foot-4-inch, 198-pounder from Lakeland, Fla., took over the Eagles’ offense last season after Chris Crane suffered a fractured collarbone and was No. 1 on the depth chart in the spring before he left school for academic reasons.
