A native of Charleston, West Virginia, Davis played college football as a tackle for West Virginia. He was a member of the school's undefeated 1922 football team. He was also a standout in track and set a school record in the shot put that lasted for more than 30 years.[1]
He played professional football in the National Football League (NFL) for the Frankford Yellow Jackets during 1927 season. He played at the end, tackle, and guard positions and appeared in a total of eight NFL games, three as a starter.[2]
