Early life and high school

Davis grew up in Bellflower, California, and attended St. John Bosco High School.[1] Davis was rated a five-star recruit by Rivals, 247Sports and Scout and committed to play college football at Ohio State over offers from Alabama, Michigan, Notre Dame, Stanford, UCLA, USC and Washington.[2][3]

College career

Davis redshirted his true freshman season.[4][5] Originally a reserve guard during his redshirt freshman season, Davis started the final two games of the Buckeyes season, the 2018 Big Ten Football Championship Game and the 2019 Rose Bowl, and played a total of 241 total snaps.[6][7] As a redshirt sophomore, Davis was named first team All-Big Ten Conference and a first team All-American by the Associated Press and the Sporting News.[8][9] Davis was named to the Big Ten Network's second team All-Decade team for the 2010s.[10]

Davis was named a preseason first team All-American by Walter Camp and the Associated Press entering his redshirt junior season. Following the announcement that Big Ten would postpone the 2020 season, Davis announced that he would opt-out of the season but later opted back in when the conference reversed it's decision.[11][12]

Declared for the 2021 NFL Draft [13]

Davis is the son of actor Duane Davis and the grandson of NFL Hall of Famer Willie Davis.[14]
