The 5′ 10″ is a proud brother who enjoys his sister’s game on television daily.
Journey Of Trevor Davis From Court To Office
Trevor Davis joined Northwood University in January 2018 to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree and graduated in May 2021.
He then continued studying for a master’s at the same university in August 2021.
Trevor started playing basketball at Northwood with little expectations.
He didn’t anticipate getting much time on the court, let alone becoming a starter. However, his commitment, determination, and toughness ultimately reshaped his path.
After a successful high school career at Dow High, Davis moved from Adrian College to Northwood in 2017.
Since he wasn’t highly recruited, he didn’t have a flashy role; he embraced being a scout player, focusing on improving the team’s point guards during practice sessions.
He understood that his chances of playing in games were slim but dedicated himself to making his teammates better.
“For my first two years, I didn’t really play very much at all,” said the former guard.
In the 2018-19 season, Davis experienced a boost in his playing time, typically getting around 15 to 20 minutes per game.
As a junior, he earned a spot in the starting lineup and maintained it for much of the season.
Throughout the 2019-20 season, Davis played in 17 out of the 18 Timberwolves’ games, starting in 12 of them. He averaged 5.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 0.9 steals per game.
Northwood coach Lonnie Griffin said he was pleased with Davis’s performance following his junior season.
“I really appreciate what he’s brought, his toughness. He comes to work every day. He comes to get better. And he’s coachable,” Griffin added.
Trevor encountered a major obstacle when he dislocated his shoulder during a senior-year game.
Initially optimistic about a speedy recovery, he later found out he required surgery, which appeared to mark the end of his basketball career.
Despite this setback, he found a chance to pursue another master’s degree and extend his time with the team.
Nonetheless, Trevor didn’t move forward with the plan but graduated and went on his professional journey.
He graduated in July 2022 with a degree in Masters In Business Administration (MBA).
Since May 2022, Davis has worked as an account coordinator at BBI Logistics in Tampa, Florida.
