| Biography: |
Bio: Full-time starter the past two seasons and
an All-Conference selection as a junior after leading
the team in tackles posting 81/1/4. Posted a
career-high 138 tackles as a sophomore when
once again he earned All-Conference honors.
Positives: Forceful, run-defending safety with good
skill in pass coverage. Hard-hitting presence in
centerfield who aggressively puts his shoulders
down into opponents, wraps up at the point, and
easily brings down ball carriers on initial contact.
Defeats blocks up the field, hard hitting against
the run and always willing to throw his pad into
the mix. Does a fine job picking up assignments
in zone and has adequate skills covering the
slot receiver. Moves well laterally and packs a
wallop at the point of attack. Works well with
cornerbacks, solid skills moving sideline-to-sideline
and displays a good degree of suddenness.
Special teams demon who’s blocked kicks in the
past.
Negatives: Does not always take the best angles
to plays. Occasionally indecisive and bites on
play-action passes or moves up the field too
quickly.
Analysis: A terrific football player with
a great motor, Davis has tremendous size for
the safety position and can be a devastating
run defender. Offers great upside in a variety
of schemes and much more than a one-dimensional
prospect.
