Early years

He grew up in Panama and speaks Spanish as a first language. In Panama, he played varsity football for the Jaguars F.C. and doubled as an offensive and defensive lineman.

The NFL Global Junior Championship has been an official Super Bowl event for the past 10 years.

College career

Following his participation in the 2000 NFL Global Junior Championship, he was recruited by University of South Florida, and was offered an opportunity to join the Bulls’ football program. Davis entered the program as a defensive lineman but was quickly converted to the offensive line.

As a redshirt freshman in 2002, Davis played in nine games at left guard and left tackle and had one start that season. As a sophomore, he started five games at left guard, including the final four of the 2003 season. During his junior year, Davis started the first six games until an ankle injury sidelined him until he returned for the final game in 2004.

As a senior, Davis was named second-team All-Big East after starting all 12 games (11 at left guard and one at left tackle). In back-to-back seasons, he was a main piece to a strong rushing attack. Davis helped pave the way for RB Andre Hall to set school single-season rushing records in 2004 and 2005, as well as the school’s career rushing record.
