Early life

[edit | edit source]

Davis was all-state at Vigor High School his sophomore and junior seasons. A torn ACL ended Davis' senior year.[1] He committed to Auburn on April 17, 2013, choosing the Tigers over Clemson, Florida State, LSU and Kentucky.[2] In addition to football, Davis played basketball and baseball at Vigor.[3]

College career

[edit | edit source]

At Auburn, Davis redshirted his true freshman year and did not make the starting lineup until his redshirt sophomore season.[4] During his redshirt freshman season, then-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp told Davis to expect no playing time, leaving the player to consider a transfer.[5] Davis started occasionally taking over playcalling duties from defensive coordinator Kevin Steele.[6] During his senior season, Davis led the team in tackles and was named first-team all-Southeastern Conference.[7] An ankle tweak against Mississippi State threatened to derail his season, but Davis did not miss any games as a result of that injury.[8] After his senior season, Davis participated in the Senior Bowl.[9]
