The No. 224 player in the Class of 2021, won two state titles and accumulated more than 13,000 total yards at North Shore High School near Houston. He was rated a four-star recruit as a prep player.
Davis committed to Auburn before the hire of Bryan Harsin. In 2021 he was third on the depth chart but did not see game action. The following offseason he transferred to Alabama State.
In 2022 he played in nine games and was named the MVP of the MEAC-SWAC Challenge after completing 16-of-23 passes for 184 yards and one touchdown against Howard. Last season he played in five games missing time with an injury.
Davis’ transfer news comes before Alabama State’s Black and Gold Spring Game set for April 6 at Hornet Stadium.
