A Kennesaw (Georgia) Harrison High School alum and former teammate of NFL quarterback Justin Fields, Davis will be playing for the fourth program of his college career. He spent the 2020 and ’21 seasons at the Air Force Academy before transferring to Iowa Western Community College in 2022. Davis played for Utah State in 2023.
Last season, Davis recorded 36 catches for 628 yards and 6 touchdowns. He played in 11 games, recording at least 1 reception in every contest. A speedy playmaker, Davis’ best games came against Colorado State (5 catches, 104 yards, TD) and Nevada (6 catches, 87 yards, TD).

Davis is also a special teams contributor. In 2023, Davis logged 28 punt returns for 250 yards.
Davis was named an All-Mountain West honorable mention as both a wide receiver and punt returner in his season at Utah State.
Ole Miss has already begun its fall camp practices. Lane Kiffin’s team opens the 2024 at home, hosting Furman on Aug. 31. The Rebels host Middle Tennessee in Week 2 before a Week 3 contest at Wake Forest, their first Power opponent of the season.
With just under four weeks before Game 1, we’ll see how quickly Davis can get up to speed.
