Tyler Davis' college
Davis attended Clemson University, where he played college football for Clemson Tigers from 2019 to 2023. According to Clemson's official website, Davis became the first defensive lineman in Clemson’s history to start 13 games as a true freshman. His 5.5 sacks were the most in the country in 2019 as a freshman interior lineman. Additionally, he dominated with 9 tackles for loss and 51 tackles overall with two pass breakups and a fumble recovery, earning Second-team All-ACC honors.
2020 was the COVID-19 pandemic year which limited the number of games to only seven. However, a significant drop in his production meant that he managed only 13 tackles of which 5 were for a loss, and 2 sacks. In 2021, he earned First-Team All-ACC honors for the first time despite having injury problems. Out of 23 total tackles, only 2.5 were for a loss while he finished the year with 2.5 sacks and one fumble recovery.
The final two seasons at Clemson were much better overall. In 2022, Davis was named a permanent captain of the team and he also earned his second First-Team All-ACC honors. He repeated both achievements in 2023 and became the first defensive player in Clemson’s history to earn a four-time All-ACC selection, as per Clemson Tigers' official wesbite.
