Jaden Davis spent one season with his hometown Hurricanes, and that vaulted him into the professional ranks.
The Arizona Cardinals picked Davis, who is a St. Thomas Aquinas alum, with the 226th pick in the seventh round of the NFL draft on Saturday. Davis is the second Hurricane picked in this year’s draft, following safety Kam Kinchens.
Davis was a standout for the powerhouse Raiders, earning Super 11 and first-team All-County honors.
