Born and raised in Sanford, Fla., Davis stayed close to home after his high school career where he was named First Team Florida Class 8A All-State as he joined UCF. During his time as a Knight, the sideline threat hauled in 2,056 yards and 19 touchdowns in just 25 games played. In his senior season, Davis led the Knights in receiving with 72 catches for school single-season record 1,241 yards and added 12 touchdowns-which is tied for the fifth-most in a single season in program history.
With that kind of production, Davis garnered his fair share of accolades as he earned a First-team selection on All-American Athletic Conference squad, was an honorable mention All-America selection by Phil Steele and was a third-team All-America pick by Pro Football Focus.
