“I’m super proud of these young men,” head coach Seth Smith said. “Since arriving on campus, they’ve worked extremely hard to elevate our program and their play. It’s very gratifying to see these guys get a chance to continue playing. They will make an immediate impact wherever they go — these guys are special.”

He was named an All-MACCC Honorable Mention when the season ended.

LADNER DAVIS
Standing at 6-foot-5, Davis was an intimidating opposition for defensive linemen all year long.
