Davis played one season on the Heights. In 2025, he appeared in 12 games for the Eagles, which included two starts, and tallied 13 total tackles (eight solo and five assisted) as well as a quarterback hit.
The Charlotte, N.C., native was a three-star recruit from the class of 2025. He ranked No. 1,072 nationally, No. 95 in safeties, and No. 25 in the state of S.C., according to 247Sports Composite. He is a product of Indian Land High School in Fort Mill, S.C.
Davis was one of 27 players to sign to the Eagles’ ‘25 class.
“Omarion is another guy that’s a versatile safety,” said O’Brien on Davis in 2024. “He does it all on the football field. Very, very instinctive player. Smart player. Can play down in the box. Excellent tackler. Can play man-to-man coverage. Can play in the deep part of the field. Also [can] return kicks… Another really dynamic athlete for us at Boston College.”
