2009-10: After gaining a great deal of experience as a true freshman in 2008-09, Davis looks to be a major factor in the Cowboy lineup as a sophomore. He is a multidimensional guard who excels at getting to the basket. Standing 6-6, Davis brings good size to the guard position. He can play all three perimeter positions.

He showed his ability to electrify a crowd with some big dunks during the course of the season. In fact, he finished the year with 13 dunks, which were the fourth most on Wyoming's roster. His most memorable game came against Johnson & Wales, as he started his first career game and responded with a career high 14 points and a career high seven rebounds. Davis provided a big spark in numerous conference wins, scoring six points in a home win over Air Force and five a piece in home wins over UNLV and TCU. In that big home win over UNLV, Davis brought the Arena-Auditorium crowd to its feet twice, with a pair of big dunks in the first half. Two of his best games came during UW's final two games of the season. In the semifinals of the MWC Tournament against Utah, he scored seven points.
