Born in Tucson, Arizona, Davis has quickly adapted to college football's demands, showcasing his skills in his freshman year during the 2024 season. Standing at 6 feet 5 inches and weighing 255 pounds, Davis wears jersey number 97. Despite being new to the collegiate level, he has already made a significant impact on the field. Throughout the 2024 season, he participated in all 12 games, a testament to his durability and the coaching staff's confidence in his abilities.

Off the field, Davis's move from Tucson to Nebraska marks a significant transition, suggesting adaptability and a commitment to pursuing his football career at a higher level. With his eligibility marked as a freshman (FR), Davis has several years ahead to refine his skills, contribute more significantly to the Cornhuskers' defensive lineup, and possibly achieve personal career milestones and accolades in college football.
