Franklin & Marshall College

Davis, a resident of Pompano Beach, Florida, was a three-sport athlete earning letters in football, basketball and baseball for Franklin & Marshall.  He is best known for his prowess on the gridiron, though he started on all three teams. Davis was a 1952 Little All-American at running back, having rushed for 513 yards and gained 531 more through the air.  His 12 rushing touchdowns have been tied twice, but remain a record. His other records from that season have stood the test of time. His 108 total points and 18 total touchdowns remain the gold standard at the College. What makes that feat so remarkable is the team played just seven games that season.  As a senior, he played both ways, leading the team in tackles from his spot at safety.

On the basketball court, he led the team in assists his junior year. He led the nation through the first four games of the season with 48 dimes.

Davis was the head football coach at Bishop McDevitt in 1959 when the team won the Suburban Catholic championship. He was the head football, basketball, wrestling coach and athletic director at Valley Forge Military Academy from 1963 to 1968 leading the team to a 39-5 record in his tenure. After leaving VFMA he opened the Valley Forge Country Day School where he remained until his retirement.
