Buster Davis was a disruptive, all-around linebacker who peaked as FSU’s tackling machine
Buster Davis became a tone-setting force for Florida State in the 2006 season, leading the Seminoles with 102 tackles and adding sacks, forced fumbles, and a pick while earning All-American honors[11]. In the 2005 season, he finished second on the team with 91 tackles and 10.5 tackles for loss, showing the downhill burst and edge-to-edge range that made him more than a stat collector[2][13]. He was a three-year starter, a high-intensity middle linebacker, and a proven big-game presence—exactly the kind of physical, assignment-clean defender teams trust in the middle[5][12].
