Liberty picked up a commitment from Reece Davidson, he announced on Thursday.
Davidson is rated as a three-star prospect from North Laurel High School in London, Kentucky. The 2026 prospect is 6’7″ and 220 pounds with offers from Western Kentucky, Toledo, Miami Ohio, Central Arkansas, Tennessee Tech, Eastern Kentucky, and Youngstown State. Liberty offered him this past October, but has been recruiting him for a couple of years. He is rated as the 4th best prospect in his class in the state of Kentucky according to 247Sports.
Davidson burst onto the scene this past season after turning in a stellar junior campaign, exploding with one of the best postseasons by any Laurel County basketball player in recent memory. He led North Laurel to its first Sweet 16 win, and an appearance in the Elite Eight. Against Montgomery County, Davidson scored 41 points while also recording 10 rebounds, four blocks, four steals, and one assist. Throughout the tournament, Davidson tallied a total of 77 points and 19 rebounds, averaging 38.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and three blocks per game.
Davidson attends the same high school that produced Reed Sheppard, a 2023 McDonald’s All-American and Kentucky Mr. Basketball. Sheppard attended the University of Kentucky and was the No. 3 overall selection in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Davidson is Liberty’s first commitment in the Class of 2026.
