She also helped lead First Team All-Sun Belt selections Shaforia Kines and Antoinette Lewis, who ended their USA careers with 1,000 and 1,500 points. She also helped lead Savannah Jones to the 1,000-point club and a Third Team All-Sun Belt Selection.
 
Before her coaching career, Davis spent four seasons as a guard playing for the Jaguars. She started a total of 78 games from 2013-17, including all 31 games during her senior campaign when she averaged 10.2 points per game and led the team in field-goal percentage (37.7%) and free-throw percentage, and was second in scoring, assists, steals (38) and defensive rebounds (92) and third in rebounding (3.5 rebounds per game)
