Overview:
Leaving Southridge after winning the 2016 FHSAA Class 8A State Championship, Davis took his talents to Florida where he committed as a three-star recruit in the Gators 2017 class. The talented safety had to earn his playing time early on, appearing on special teams before making his first career start at Florida in the regular-season finale back in 2017.
As the years went on, Davis earned more and more playing time despite missing the first month of the season in 2018. But it was until 2019 where he returned to the starting lineup, starting in 9 of the 12 games he appeared in for the Gators. Davis set a career-high with two interceptions in the win over Kentucky and was solid all of 2019 helping lead Florida to a win over Virginia in the Orange Bowl.
Entering 2020, Davis was thought to be a key component in Florida’s secondary but an injury forced him to miss the final five games after starting in six of the first seven games. He once again recorded an interception in the win over Kentucky and finished his season with three total takeaways.
Davis has also appeared on the SEC Academic Honor Roll list twice in his career, doing so in 2018 and 2019.
