“Me, just knowing I can maximize myself here. I got guys, me and Ruke [Orhorhoro] talked about it. We know that we got Coach Eason just got there, and we feel like we had one of our best years just being over here for one year,” the star Clemson defensive lineman began. “Then we got our strength coach, Coach Batson, Coach Dennis Love, he prepared me. My body never felt the way it felt ever since I’ve been there,” Davis continued. “Just knowing all those and knowing all that, I said, why not? Why not have this chance to go win a natty, knowing I got the best linebacker duo and got guys like JP, Sheridan, Nate, Wiggins, RJ Mickens, Andrew Mukuba back there in the secondary, why not just go and have one of the best defense and go win a natty?”

Davis appeared in 12 games last year for the Tigers, making 11 starts. He had 31 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks. He has been productive every season for the Tigers, despite battling injuries.
