He led the Tigers in receiving in 1971 and 1972 and was the leading kick returner. For his play, Davis was named to the All-Missouri Valley Conference team in 1971 and to the All-South Team in 1972. He was selected to play in the North-South All-Star game in 1972 and was drafted that spring by the Philadelphia Eagles (1973-74). He also played for one season with the Jacksonville Express of the WFL.
