Utah State football: Cornerback Jalen Davis steps into leadership role

"Last year was good because a lot of the older guys came in and taught me the ropes," he said. "Guys like Brian Suite and Rashard Stewart helped me learn every team needs good leaders and that is what I need to be this year. That's what makes a team strong."

He is certainly someone who can lead by example.

The 5-foot-10, 175-pound Davis proved to be one of the best cornerbacks in the Mountain West last year, starting his 13 games and finishing the season tied for sixth on the team with 61 tackles.

He was named to the 247 True Freshmen All-American team and Athlon Sports Third-Team All-Mountain West.
