Early life and high school career

Davis was born in Lafayette, Indiana, to Ted and Melinda Davis, and has an older brother, Trevor.[1] Her father played college football for Franklin College (Indiana), and her brother played basketball for Northwood University.[1] She played three years of high school basketball at H. H. Dow High School in Midland, Michigan, and was named second-team all-state as a sophomore.[1] She played for the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) team Michigan Mystics in 2017 and 2018.[1]

College career

Davis played three seasons at Central Michigan University from 2019 to 2022. She was named to the all-MAC second team as a freshman and junior.[1] As a sophomore, she led the Chippewas to win the 2021 MAC tournament, leading the conference with 76 three-pointers and recording a double-double in every game that season, and was named first-team all-MAC.[1] Central Michigan lost to Iowa in Davis's only NCAA appearance at the school.[4][5]

Davis transferred to Iowa in 2022.[6] She saw few minutes in Iowa's run to the title game in the 2023 NCAA tournament.[7] She regularly started the next season, playing as a point guard or shooting guard alongside star point guard Caitlin Clark.[3][7] In her fifth year, she was named to the all-tournament team at the 2023 Gulf Coast Showcase.[2]
