Davis earned honorable mention ICCAC Division I honors in her lone season at Iowa Western. She scored in double figures 17 times, including a season-high 24 points against Southeast Community College. Davis closed the season with 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals in her 22.5 minutes per game.Â

Davis was the MEAC's Rookie of the Week (Feb. 13, 2018) after scoring 13 points and grabbing four rebounds in FAMU's overtime win over North Carolina Central. She hit the clinching free-throws inside the final 30 seconds. Â
Davis graduated from Omaha Northwest High School in 2017. She was a four-year letterwinner, split between Northwest and Benson High School. Davis helped Northwest to a district championship and the school's first State Championship appearance in 40 years.Â
