Goldmine

• Davis credits his coaches at West Florida (Pensacola, FL) Tech, Rhett Summerford and Harry Lees, for his development on defense. "I came in with wide receiver dreams and they shut that down quick," Davis re- called. "They said, 'you'll be a good high school receiver, but you're go- ing to be a Division I linebacker.' I had dreams of playing D1, so when he told me that, he really shut down my receiver dreams. But looking back, it was the best decision that I ever made. Those guys are two of the biggest reasons I'm here today."
