Cousin of the late Chris Henry commits to West Virginia

Houston three-star prospect Ralph Davis, the cousin of former Mountaineers and NFL receiver Chris Henry, committed to West Virginia.

 

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia gained its second wide receiver commitment in 18 hours when Houston-North Shore speedster Ralph Davis chose the Mountaineers over Ole Miss and Colorado State.
