He also served as the primary spokesman for Clemson University's Call Me Mister Program and served as director from 1999-03.

Davis was an All-America linebacker from 1978-81 who captained the Tigers during their 1981 national title run. "The Judge" registered a then-Tiger-record 175 tackles in 1981. That same season, he became just the third defensive player in ACC history to be named league MVP.

Davis has made a name for himself outside of the Clemson community. A fifth-round draft pick by Tampa Bay in 1982, he played six seasons in the NFL. During his time as a professional, he also completed his remaining coursework and graduated from Clemson in 1984.

In 1999, he returned to Clemson as field director of Call Me Mister. It seeks to recruit, train, certify, and secure employment for African-American males as elementary teachers in the state's public schools. In 2001, he was awarded $100,000 for the program from Oprah Winfrey's "Angel Network."
