In addition to being a key player on the Orange's offensive line, Davis is enrolled in the MBA program in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management. A five-time member of the ACC Honor Roll, Davis has been named to Syracuse's Athletic Director's Honor Roll in each of the last eight semesters.
He appeared In 52 games with 37 starts on the offensive line in his career, playing both guard and tackle in his tenure. This season, he started all-13 games and according to Pro Football Focus, was responsible for just one sack allowed in 451 pass blocking snaps.
Davis' Campbell Trophy Semifinalist honor, nicknamed the academic Heisman, is an award presented annually to the college football player that best combines academics, leadership and on-field performance.
