High school career

Davis attended Sam Houston Math, Science, and Technology Center in Houston, Texas.[1] He joined the varsity basketball team in his freshman season.[2] As a senior, Davis averaged 22.6 points and 6.6 assists per game. He graduated as a two-time Class 6A All-State selection and a three-time 20-6A District MVP.[3] A four-star recruit, Davis committed to playing college basketball for TCU over Kansas State and Texas.[4]

College career

On February 9, 2019, Davis scored a freshman season-high 22 points for TCU in a 92–83 win over Iowa State.[4] As a freshman, he averaged 6.3 points, two assists, and 1.7 rebounds per game in a reserve role.[5] After the season, Davis transferred to SMU. His waiver for immediate eligibility was initially denied. After filing an appeal and sitting out for four games, his waiver was approved, largely because TCU supported the waiver.[6] On January 4, 2020, Davis recorded a sophomore season-high 24 points and six assists in a 92–81 overtime victory over Vanderbilt.[7] On February 1, he posted 18 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds, tying the American Athletic Conference (AAC) single-game assists record, in an 82–67 win over Tulane.[8] As a sophomore, Davis averaged 14.2 points, an AAC-leading 6.7 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game, earning Third Team All-AAC honors.[3] In June 2020, he tested positive for COVID-19 after returning to SMU for voluntary workouts.[9] In his junior season debut on November 25, Davis scored a career-high 33 points in a 97–67 win against Sam Houston State.[10] On January 7, 2021, he set an AAC record with 14 assists while scoring 14 points in a 76–69 loss to Cincinnati.[11]

At the conclusion of the 2021–22 season, Davis was named the American Athletic Conference Player of the Year.[12]
