Our 2026 NFL Draft Profiles roll on! Today, we’re taking a look at one of the Arizona transfers, the man they nicknamed Bobo, cornerback Tacario Davis!
The Basics
Height: 6’3 7/8”
Weight: 194 pounds
Arm Length: 33 3/8”

Recruitment
Davis, out of Long Beach, California, ranked as the 104th best corner nationally and as the 97th best player in the state of California in the class of 2022, according to 247. Initially committing to Jedd Fisch at Arizona, he chose
the Wildcats over Arizona State and Kansas. He transferred this past offseason to Washington, committing on January 7th, 2025.
College Career
In his 3 season at Arizona, Davis combined for 75 total tackles, 20 pass deflections and an interception. He earned second team All PAC 12 honors in 2023 and second team All Big 12 honors in 2024. In 2025, Davis recorded 20 tackles, 4 pass deflections, and 2 picks (1 against UC Davis, 1 against Illinois). His numbers might’ve been even better, were it not for missing the final 2 games of the season due to injury.
Strengths
Tacario’s height and wingspan allow him to get in between receivers and disrupt the catch. That wingspan also gives him a wide tackle net, so to speak. It also allows him to jam receivers off course on their releases. He also has the speed and instincts to jump short routes.
Weaknesses
Davis’s height also makes him play too tall at times, and as a result, he struggles to transition from his backpedal occasionally. This can lead to breakdown in his technique, leading to penalties and missed opportunities on the field. He also struggles defending routes with multiple breaks, despite his size and speed.
NFL Comparisons/Mock Draft
Davis is projected as a 3rd or 4th round pick by NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein. Zierlein also compared him to New York Jets corner, Nahshon Wright. Mock Draft Express largely agrees with that sentiment, placing him anywhere from round 3 to round 5 among 2026 mock drafts.
