Vikings sign rookie WR Terrill Davis

The Minnesota Vikings signed rookie wide receiver Terrill Davis on Thursday, adding the Oklahoma State product to their offseason roster, the team said. The move came after Davis attended rookie minicamps with the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, according to the Vikings' announcement. Minnesota also released outside linebacker Jordan Botelho in the corresponding move. The signing gives the Vikings another undrafted receiver to evaluate as teams continue building 90-man offseason rosters ahead of organized team activities. ### Who is Terrill Davis? Terrill Davis played 12 games for Oklahoma State in 2025 after transferring from Central Oklahoma, the Vikings said. He caught 29 passes for 373 yards, an average of 12.9 yards per reception, during his lone season with the Cowboys. Central Oklahoma is where Davis posted his biggest college production. In his final season there, he led all NCAA players across every division with 1,609 receiving yards and earned Division II All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association, The Associated Press and other outlets, according to the Vikings. (vikings.com) Choctaw High School in Oklahoma was where Davis began playing football late. (vikings.com) The Vikings said he did not start until his senior year, when basketball gymnasiums were closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and that he helped his team win the Class 6A state championship while earning 2020 District 6A-II-2 Offensive Player of the Year honors. ### Why were the Ravens and 49ers part of this path? (vikings.com) The Vikings said Davis recently participated in rookie minicamps with both Baltimore and San Francisco before signing in Minnesota. Those camps are short post-draft tryout windows that often include drafted players, undrafted signees and invitees competing for additional roster consideration. Baltimore opened rookie minicamp on May 1 and published a running list of camp coverage that week, including its signing of 19 undrafted rookies before the practices began. (vikings.com) San Francisco also held its 2026 rookie minicamp last week and posted photos from the event on its official site. Neither team page reviewed here listed Davis by name, but the Vikings' transaction notice said he attended both camps. ### What exactly did Minnesota do on Thursday? Eagan, Minnesota, was where the Vikings announced the move at 5:06 p.m. on May 14. The club said it had signed Davis and, in a corresponding transaction, released Botelho, a 2026 rookie free agent out of Notre Dame. A separate Vikings post published at the same time said Minnesota signed two rookie wide receivers, Davis and South Alabama's Devin Voisin. (baltimoreravens.com) That report described both players as Oklahoma City natives and said Voisin had attended the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' rookie minicamp before joining the Vikings. ### Where does Davis fit on the Vikings' offseason roster? Minnesota is in the roster-building phase that follows the draft and rookie minicamp. (vikings.com) Teams can carry up to 90 players in the offseason, giving clubs room to cycle through undrafted rookies and tryout players before trimming later in the summer; that roster framework is standard NFL procedure, and the Vikings' move fits that period of evaluation. Davis joins the receiver depth chart as the team continues offseason work in Eagan. (vikings.com) Devin Voisin is another recent addition at the position. The Vikings said Voisin played 67 games over seven seasons at South Alabama and caught 67 passes for 775 yards and four touchdowns in 2025. ### What comes next for Davis in Minnesota? Minnesota's next steps are the rest of the offseason program and the run-up to training camp, when undrafted rookies typically compete for a place on the 53-man roster or practice squad. (vikings.com) Davis will enter that process with a resume that includes Division II production, one season in the Big 12 at Oklahoma State and recent looks from the Ravens, 49ers and now Vikings. The Vikings' official site said the move was announced May 14 in Eagan, where the club continues its offseason roster evaluation. (vikings.com)
