Arriving to Texas during the Charlie Strong era, cornerback Davante Davis was poised to be a significant contributor for the Longhorns during his tenure playing in burnt orange.
Coming in as a highly coveted four-star recruit, Davis was set to make a splash considerably early, and as a freshman, he did that. Under the guidance of former defensive backs coach Chris Vaughn, Davis saw action in all 12 games in his first season, including five straight starts to end his freshman campaign. During that season, Davis led the team with seven pass breakups.
