Davis comes to MSU after scoring 6.1 points per game and bringing down 3.8 rebounds per contest for the Crimson Tide as a redshirt freshman a year ago. It's unknown at this time if he'll be immediately eligible to play for the Bulldogs as he awaits a decision on the matter from the NCAA.

Regardless, Davis becomes the second player to transfer to MSU this offseason. He joins Jalen Johnson, who came to State as a graduate transfer from the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns.

Davis is no stranger to the state of Mississippi. He played his high school basketball at Canton where he was a Dandy Dozen selection by The Clarion Ledger in his senior season.
