No. 45 James Davis

James Davis earned the nickname, ‘Dirty’ for his tenacious play on defense. Playing both defensive back and linebacker, Davis had a knack for flying to the football anywhere on the field.

Davis record 102 tackles in his senior year in 2002, with 13.5 tackles for a loss.

His record of six tackles for a loss in a single game still stands. That occurred against East Carolina in 2000.

Davis was drafted by the Detroit Lions and played four seasons in the NFL.
