Davis led the Gamecocks in rushing in each of the past two seasons, but was hampered by nagging injuries for much of the 2014 campaign. Davis still led the team with 199 carries for 982 yards rushing, falling just 18 yards short of joining George Rogers as the only players in school history to have multiple 1,000-yard rushing seasons.
Davis becomes coach Steve Spurrier's 102nd player taken in the draft and he has the most players drafted among active coaches.
