Leaving the warm training facilities to brave the freezing elements — with聽a pair of low-top Vans on his feet — Davis stepped into the white stuff and quickly regretted his decision."Me and the snow do not get along. I don't know how I left California without purchasing boots," Davis said. "About my third fall (walking to class), I knew I needed boots ASAP."Even with his wipe outs, Davis has found his footing with the Buckeyes.The 6-foot-3, 314 pounder will make his second-career start at the Rose Bowl when Ohio State meets Washington on New Year's Day.As a native of Southern California, Davis attended games at the Rose Bowl as a youngster聽and is well aware of the building's vaunted history."It's an unbelievable feeling.

Davis stated. "[The Buckeyes] are always finishing in the Top 5 in the nation. They always have a chance to make the playoffs."Why not go to an elite program and compete with the best?"Nothing could top Columbus聽—聽or the thought of playing for Meyer, a coach with three national titles on his resume."My first trip to OSU https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/David-Bakhtiari-Jersey , it was Halloween. They were playing Northwestern. The whole stadium was packed. 110,000 fans, screaming and yelling. I had never seen anything like it," Davis recalled from his 2016 visit. "Columbus is a city so involved in its sports. My family and I were in shock [just how] crazy the atmosphere was [on game day]."Jason Negro said the mentality to compete with the best, even if that means leaving home, starts early in the St. John Bosco program."We got out and play big national games against some of the best teams in the country. If that's the message which you are sending your kids at the high school level, naturally, when they look to go to college, they look at schools which are the most relevant and give them the best chance to compete,"聽said Negro, the Braves' head coach."[Wyatt] has just got better and better for them during the season. It was fun to watch."Davis still stays in touch with聽his high school coaches and even attended a game at the new on-campus stadium during Ohio State's bye week. Davis will face two former teammates on Jan. 1 in Huskies' sophomore running back Sean McGrew and freshman receiver Terrell Bynum."We've talked, but not about the game," Davis admitted.Sophomore left tackle Thayer Munford and junior guard/tackle Branden Bowen gather with Ohio State offensive linemen Matthew Jones and Kevin Woidke around Wyatt Davis after the redshirt freshman's first career start at right guard. pic.twitter.com/kNALeGy9s3— Garrett Stepien ( plished actor from聽‘The Program', ‘Necessary Roughness' and ‘Under Siege'.And grandfather, Willie, is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame after winning five NFL Championships during his reign (1960-69) with the Green Bay Packers.Wyatt Davis' Ohio State career has already seen one championship of its own.聽The Buckeyes' regular season ended with a Big Ten title in Indianapolis.Davis made his first-career start in the game in place of longtime guard聽Demetrius聽Knox whose Buckeyes career was cut short because of a foot injury suffered vs.聽Michigan the week before."I got to get him a [Big Ten Championship] ring. Just seeing him smile … it was really surreal,"聽said Davis Jason Spriggs Jersey , who even lined up as a tight end earlier in the season."Wyatt is a guy that you heard us talking about him for quite a while," Meyer聽said on Dec. 5. "… we [were] excited, because he's earned playing time. We were trying to find a way without disrupting the cohesiveness of the offensive line, that's why we put him at tight end, tried to get him in the game. He was ready to go."The Rose Bowl is the final game of聽Meyer's Ohio State career. It will be strange for Davis and others to not see him around the program he helped bring back into the national title picture."It will be pretty weird, not having him as head coach. Being able to be around him, [he helps put] perspective on life. How to truly be a man," Davis said. "I've learned so much. Words can't describe聽that man and all he's taught me."Davis said new head coach Ryan Day is ‘fiery' and it feels like "nothing has changed. We have the same standards. He's for real."The "slower pace" in Ohio's capital city of Columbus, the nation's 14th largest city, has been an unexpected treat for Davis."It's nice to see something different. It took me a while to get used to it, my whole freshman year," said Davis, who enjoys the many good restaurants of the Columbus area. "But there is a lot of stuff to do here."While Davis digs his deal in Ohio, it's always great to get back to Los Angeles, especially for the most recent holidays.Davis' first stop after his plane touched down at LAX?"In-and-Out."Excellent choice. Welcome home indeed.
