Davis enters his second season at NCCU, looking to expand upon his impressive first season.

As a Sophomore (2008-09): Made an immediate impact on the Eagles roster, participating in 30 games while making 25 starts on the season. Made 17 consecutive starts to begin his career. Finished his first campaign for the maroon and gray as one of three Eagles to register a double-figure scoring average (11.2 ppg) which was good enough for third on the team. He topped the team in blocks (26) and was second in steals (47). Ended up fourth on the roster in three-point FG% shooting 29.2% (27-of-92), free-throw percentage (75.7%), and assists (1.1 apg) while wrapping up his rookie season at NCCU second on the squad in rebounds (4.0 rpg). Scored in double figures the first 11 games of his Eagle career. Earned All-Tournament team honors at both the South Padre Island Invitational and the Drake/Iowa Realty Invitational. In South Padre, he racked up 25 points, 9 steals, 5 blocks, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists in the Thanksgiving event. In the weekend's first game picked up career-highs of 6 steals and 3 blocks against UNC Wilmington. Up in Des Moines for the tournament at Drake, he ripped off 37 points (24 of those against Drake on Dec. 6, which was his highest output at that point in the year) grabbed 7 boards, 4 steals, 2 blocks, and 2 assists. Scored 10 or more points in 19 of 30 games played. Logged 30-plus minutes in 15 games. His season-best 27 points came at Longwood (Feb. 25) where he shot 8-of-16 from the field, including 3-of-7 from three-point range. Hit 3 three-pointers in 6 contests, which included a perfect 3-for-3 performance against Texas Pan-American (Jan. 14). Scored 20 or more points three times. Two games later he tied that mark with 3 more blocks at Drake (Dec. 6). Grabbed 9 boards against Kent State (Nov. 17) which was another career-best number. Had an eight-game shot blocking streak from Nov. 20 at Florida Gulf Coast untill Dec. 10 at Arkansas. During that time he amassed 14 blocks. Led the team in scoring five times, while grabbing the most boards on the squad six times. Also piled up a game-high in steals six times, while leading the way recording the most blocked shots on the roster in 10 contests.

Transfer (Motlow State Community College): Transferred to NCCU from Motlow State Community College in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Played in 23 games for the Bucks, averaging 14 minutes per contest. Averaged 4.6 points and 2.3 rebounds during the 2006-07 season. Topped team by shooting 52.1 percent from the field. Scored team-high 23 points with nine rebounds versus Walters State (Feb. 3, 2007).
