As a member of the Class of 2024, Davis was a three-star recruit out of Tuscon (Ari.) Salpointe Catholic, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking . He was the No. 12 overall prospect in the state, the No. 54 defensive lineman in the class and the No. 633 overall prospect in the class.

Davis joins a Miami team that just fell short in the national championship to Indiana, 27-21. Head coach Mario Cristobal said he'd use it as fuel to make another run.
"At the end of the day, any loss is going to be painful but I'd like to reflect on the fact that these guys won 13 games this year," Cristobal said. "They got to the postseason for the first time in Playoff history, then beat four top-10 teams, seven top-25 teams, won the Fiesta Bowl, won the Cotton Bowl, and I'll take blame that we were one drive short of winning the National Championship."

"I don't see anything negative, but I do see pain in moments like this. But you should, if we're a competitor worth anything. You feel it and you give those feelings a direction. I know the guys coming back will, and I know the guys moving on will continue to use that as fuel."
Cristobal, who played at Miami from 1989-1992 and was hired to lead the program into a new era in 2022, has brought his alma mater back to national relevance in just a short amount of time. As recently as 2022, Miami lost a home game to Middle Tennessee State . Just three seasons later, the 'Canes were on the doorstep of winning a national title and will be considered one of the favorites to do so next season.
