Davis led Lowndes High School to  14-1 record and a state championship appearance this past season. He finished his junior year with 47 tackles and 11 sacks, which impressed first-year MSU coach Mike Leach.

Davis originally committed to South Alabama but now he will take his talents to Starkville to play for the Bulldogs.
