Tennessee State’s Sophomore DB with Elite Ball-Hawking Instincts
Byron Davis, a 6'1", 185-lb redshirt junior DB from Nashville, TN, is Tennessee State’s top interception leader in the 2025 season with 12 INTs—more than double any teammate [4]. His differentiators include elite ball skills (3 pass breakups, 2 INTs in just nonconference play), physical size for a DB, and high-intensity play style that translates to consistent tackling (18 total tackles, 1 TFL) [1]. Though he didn’t play in his 2024 debut at TSU, he showed promise at Kentucky Wesleyan in 2023 with 4 tackles in 3 games [5]. Davis is active, injury-free, and brings a competitive, team-first personality that makes him a strong fit for any defense seeking a playmaking cornerback with range and grit.
