JOSH DAVIS • Wide Receivers
J
osh Davis will face the challenge of molding a young group of wide receivers as he begins his second full season as a member of the South Dakota State University football coaching staff.
During the Jackrabbits’ 2009 playoff-qualifying season, Davis mentored a veteran group of receivers led by two-time second-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference selection Glen Fox. The senior trio of Fox, Mike Steffen and Saunders Montague combined to account for 142 receptions, 1,875 yards and 10 touchdowns. A native of Omaha, Neb., Davis previously served as a graduate assistant on John Stiegelmeier’s coaching staff during the 2007 season and also served as a student intern in 2006 while completing his bachelor’s degree in health, physical education and recreation. He further gained coaching experience at the collegiate level by mentoring the wide receivers at Council Bluffs-based Iowa Western Community College in the spring of 2009. • Second Season Recruiting Areas: • California • Wisconsin Alma Mater: • South Dakota State, 2006
A record-setting wide receiver at SDSU from 2002-05, Davis still holds the Jackrabbit career mark of 225 receptions, while his 3,192 receiving yards rank second on the all-time SDSU charts. In addition, Davis holds the SDSU single-game record with 16 receptions, a feat he accomplished against Western Washington in 2002. He recorded at least 40 receptions in all four seasons and led the team in catches three times, including 70 in 2002, a figure which ranks in a tie for second place on the Jackrabbit single season charts. Davis was a first-team all-North Central Conference selection in 2003 and was a second-team all-Great West Football Conference honoree in 2005, the Jackrabbits’ second season competing in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision. In addition to his coaching duties, Davis helps coordinate the team’s travel and camps.
