2008 (Senior)

The California native also saw action against Nicholls State and Troy in 2006, but did not record any statistics. He redshirted in 2005, after seeing action in a reserve role at Texas Tech as a true freshman in 2004. Davis earned his degree in sociology in December.

Before Nebraska (Venice HS)
Davis had a standout senior year at Venice High School in Los Angeles for Coach Angelo Gasca, completing 67 percent of his passes for 3,152 yards and 40 touchdowns, against just 10 interceptions. Davis spread the ball around the field effectively, as three of Venice's wideouts topped 1,000 yards receiving in 2003.

Davis led Venice to a 13-1 record and a berth in the sectional championship game where it was defeated by Carson High School. He threw for a season-high 340 yards against Santa Monica. He threw six touchdown passes in just two quarters against Hamilton High School and had a pair of five-touchdown games as a senior.

Davis was the Los Angeles Times Westside Back of the Year as a senior. He also received first-team all-city honors from the AP, and was named the All-Western League Offensive Player of the Year. Davis transferred to Venice from Carson (Calif.) High School. As a junior at Carson, Davis threw for 1,105 yards and 11 touchdowns and guided his team to a state playoff berth. He turned down scholarship offers from Utah State and Temple.
