Draft Scouting Report:
Rating: 79.40 (Chance to start)
Pro Comparison: Javon Hargrave
Strengths:
Twitched-up interior defensive lineman who can also line up as a 4i or 5 technique. Lateral mobility and sideline-to-sideline skills to run down the ball carrier, but also the quickness to shoot gaps with regularly. Active hands at snap and consistently uses them well to win early in rep. High-motor that won't allow him to give up on a play if he gets stymied off the snap. Incredibly disruptive and it's hard to find examples of him not winning the rep.
Weaknesses:
Had surgery to repair a torn ACL last November, and has only played in five games the last two seasons after opting out in 2020 because of COVID. There aren't a lot of holes in Davis' game; he just needs to stay healthy.
Accolades:
- 2021: AAC Defensive Player of the Week once in five games before missing rest of season with injury
- 30 bench-press reps at Pro Day would have ranked T-fourth at combine
