Trent Davis brings flash, pedigree, and upside — but Duke’s depth chart has kept his impact limited
In the 2021 season, Trent Davis showed a small but efficient sample at Duke, rushing 9 times for 29 yards and adding 2 kickoff returns for 47 yards, while his prep profile praised him as a three-star back with burst and pass-catching juice; ESPN listed him among the nation’s top 2021 running back recruits. His appeal is the compact, change-of-pace skill set: quick feet, open-field comfort, and value on special teams. The catch? His college production has been limited, so he looks more like a developmental fit than an immediate bell cow.
