Mercyhurst RB Ernest Davis III is a compact, efficient chain-mover with proven juice after contact
In the 2024 season, Ernest Davis III gave Mercyhurst a steady, physical presence at running back, finishing with 234 rushing yards on 45 carries (5.2 yards per carry), plus 8 catches for 74 yards and a rushing score. His value is in the details: he can help as a receiver, showed a 25-yard burst, and posted an 81-yard game against Robert Morris, so he’s not just a north-south grinder. At 5-foot-9 and 200 pounds, he looks built for tough, rotational snaps and short-yardage reliability.
