Tulane has enjoyed another strong season under head coach Jon Sumrall, with the Green Wave sitting second in the American Conference with a\u00a09\u20112 overall record (6-1 in American) and a No. 24 AP ranking.<\/p>\n

Sumrall has been one of college football<\/a>‘s most successful coaches over the last four years, putting together a 41-11 record<\/a> across two seasons at Troy and two at Tulane. <\/p>\n

The Green Wave sit one win from a spot in the American Conference championship game, and Sumrall has already been named a finalist<\/a> for the George Munger College Coach of the Year Award. <\/p>\n

As a result, Sumrall’s name has repeatedly been linked to several coaching vacancies across college football.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, with Sumrall seemingly on his way out, one of the school’s biggest recruits from the 2026 class, four-star wide receiver Trez Davis, has officially decommitted from Tulane.<\/p>\n

Davis, the No. 24-ranked wide receiver in the 2026 class per 247Sports<\/a>, is listed at\u00a06’0″,\u00a0180\u00a0pounds,\u00a0and has been touted as an elite multi-sport athlete who also plays basketball and competes in track and field.<\/p>\n

In his 2024 junior season at West Monroe High School in West Monroe, Louisiana, he finished with 53 receptions for 998 yards and eight TDs, averaging 18.8 yards per catch.<\/p>\n

In November, he took official visits to Washington and Houston, and received offers from Baylor, Arkansas, Kentucky, and others who actively pursued him as a flip target.<\/p>\n

He initially committed to Sumrall and the Green Wave on June 13, making his decommitment on Monday a massive recruiting swing. <\/p>\n

Recent reports indicated Florida<\/a> had scheduled a meeting with Sumrall that was later called off, or that Sumrall was removing his name from the Florida search.<\/p>\n

Some believe\u00a0this may be a strategic play by Sumrall to boost his chances at Auburn, a program that reportedly has him near the top of its list.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the same time, Florida appears to be waiting on Lane Kiffin\u2019s decision before turning to Sumrall as a fallback option.<\/p>\n

Whether Sumrall stays or goes, a recruit of Davis\u2019 profile reentering the market is a direct consequence of\u00a0coaching\u2011staff uncertainty\u00a0and the normal recruiting ripple effects when a head coach is linked to other jobs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tulane has enjoyed another strong season under head coach Jon Sumrall, with the Green Wave sitting second in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59386,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[143,28,30,29,10712,4691],"class_list":{"0":"post-59385","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-florida","8":"tag-college-football","9":"tag-florida","10":"tag-florida-headlines","11":"tag-florida-news","12":"tag-jon-sumrall","13":"tag-tulane-green-wave"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
