Davis, a high school freshman, considered Ohio State University because it was the first program to grant him an athletic scholarship. His senior season earned him many other offers, with USC winning out with a combination of weather, location, mentor, quality players, and a style of offense that suited Davis; he discussed the matter with fellow recruit Dwayne Jarrett before deciding to join the Trojans.
College career
Davis graduated from Robert S. Rogers High School in Toledo, Ohio, a semester before the Trojans' spring training began. Davis secretly left Ohio to enroll in the United StatesC. Tired of the recruiting process that accompanies top prospects, he retired in Ohio.
