Off the field, Clemson freshman Tyler Davis – or “Baby Dex,” as he is affectionately referred to by teammates and coaches — has a quiet, fun-loving personality.
On the field, Davis is still quiet. But at the same time, the 6-foot-2, 295-pound defensive tackle does a lot of damage as a disruptive force on the Tigers’ interior defensive line.
A highly regarded player from Wekiva High School in Apopka, Florida, Davis has been impressive ever since he arrived on campus in January, turning heads with his performance in spring practice and fall camp en route to earning a starting role for top-ranked Clemson.
