The Davis brothers walked a few steps over to Ed Weir Stadium, where the Husker track and field teams prepared for this week's NCAA Outdoor Championships in Austin, Texas. Carlos Davis will compete in the discus throw at the national meet for a second straight year, while Khalil is a first-time national qualifier in the same event.
The Davis twins, set to enter their senior seasons on the Nebraska football team, both express gratitude that their football coaches through the years -- they've played for two head coaches and three defensive coordinators -- have allowed them to compete in track and field.
