After toiling on the scout team for three seasons, Emmett Davis Jr. finally made the Navy football depth chart and the travel squad as a senior.
It was a triumphant moment for the Broadneck High graduate, a wide receiver who wondered if he would ever get to play in a varsity college football game.
Davis is part of a close-knit family and wanted to share every moment of this senior season with his parents and two younger brothers. However, the coronavirus pandemic has made that almost impossible since games are being held in empty stadiums.
After dressing but not playing against BYU and Tulane, Davis made his collegiate debut against Air Force in Colorado Springs.
