Biography

Career: In his now 109-game career (68 as a starter), Davison has averaged 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals while sinking 44.5 percent of his shots from the field, 34.8 percent from the 3-point stripe (138-of-396) and 77.3 percent of his free throws. On EWU career all-time top 10 lists, Davison is 10th in points (1,365), sixth in field goals attempted (1,087), ninth in field goals made (484) and ninth in free throws made (259). Davison is Eastern’s newest member of the 1,000-point club, going over that mark with a 21-point effort versus Idaho on Feb. 13, 2020. He now has 1,365 career points to rank 10th on EWU’s all-time list of 1,000-point scorers, joining 2019-20 Big Sky MVP Mason Peatling as one of 23 in the club. After playing in his 100th Eastern game against Idaho (2/4/21), two days later versus the Vandals Davison moved past Marc Axton into 11th on EWU’s all-time scoring list. Axton, who was the analyst for the television broadcast on SWX that day, had 1,319 points from 2002-05. In his career, Davison now has 24 performances with at least 20 points (14 in the 2019-20 season and one in 2020-21) and five with at least 30 (three in the 2019-20 season and one in 2020-21). He has a total of 63 career games scoring in double figures. He’s led Eastern in single games in scoring (30 times), steals (36), blocked shots (15), assists (8) and rebounding (5). Davison is one of just 12 former Eastern players to have at least 800 points and 150 assists in a career, with current totals of 1,365/179. He is also on an elite list of just 23 players all-time at EWU with at least 800 career points and 200 rebounds (1,365/348).
 
NCAA/CBI Tournament Experience: He came off the bench and played 16 minutes in Eastern’s 93-84 loss to 12th-ranked and third-seeded Kansas on March 20, 2021, in the NCAA Tournament. He finished the game with five points, three rebounds and two assists. His debut season in 2017-18 ended with seven points, a career-high four steals and three rebounds in EWU’s loss to Utah Valley in the College Basketball Invitational.
 
Big Sky Tournament Experience: He’s played in six career games in the Big Sky Conference Championships, including an average of 17.3 minutes during EWU’s run to the title in the 2020-21 season. He averaged 4.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists, including five points and three assists in a start against Northern Arizona (3/11/21). He then scored five points with eight rebounds in the semifinals versus Montana (3/12/21). He closed the tourney with two points, a rebound and an assist in the title game against Montana State (3/13/21). In the 2017-18 season, he played in three games in the Big Sky Tournament, and averaged 22.7 minutes, 13.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 2.0 steals per game. He had nine points and three steals in his tourney debut against Portland State in a quarterfinal victory in 2018, then had 16 points, five rebounds and a pair of steals in a semifinal win over Southern Utah. He closed the tourney with 16 points and seven boards in a championship game loss to Montana.
 
2020-21: Davison was selected as the MVP as he joined teammate Kim Aiken Jr. on the 2020-21 Big Sky Conference Preseason All-Conference Team announced by the league office on Nov. 10. He was unanimous selection on the preseason squad. In the 2020-21 season, Davison was 12th in the Big Sky in 3-pointers made per game (1.45) overall and seventh in league games only (1.85). He scored 31 versus Southern Utah on Jan. 16 when he hit nine 3-pointers to come one from the school record of 10. For the season, he averaged 9.8 points in the 22 games he’s played. He scored 18 points in EWU’s regular season finale versus Idaho State (3/5/21) on “Senior Day” at EWU. That was his best performance since scoring 31 versus Southern Utah (1/16/21) when Davison sank nine of 18 3-point attempts. His previous high for 3-pointers made was seven, and the school record of 10 was set by Tyler Harvey (2/1/14 vs. Northern Colorado) and Kevin Winford (12/4/10 vs. New Hope).
 
2019-20: A second team All-Big Sky selection, Davison closed the season with three-straight 20-point performances, giving him 23 performances in his career with at least 20 points (14 in the 2019-20 season and 23 in his career). He was 70th nationally and fourth in the Big Sky in scoring (18.4) after missing the last 10 games last season with an injury. He ended the league season fourth in scoring (18.7), 11th in field goal percentage (.439), 10th in free throw percentage (.752), 12th in steals (1.2) and 14th in assists (2.7). In helping EWU to a weekend home sweep to wrap-up the Big Sky Conference outright title, Davison averaged 23.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists to earn Big Sky Player of the Week honors. He sank 51 percent of his shots from the field and 7-of-9 free throws (78 percent). He had 23 with four assists in a 100-77 win over Idaho State on March 5, then poured in 24 with eight rebounds and five assists in a title-clinching 78-69 win over Weber State two days later. Eastern’s newest member of the 1,000-point club, Davison went over that mark with a 21-point effort versus Idaho (2/13/20). He followed that with 30 points in a win at Portland State (2/15/20) to give him four performances in his career with at least 30 (three this season). He had 24 at Northern Colorado on Feb. 29 in a showdown for first place in the league standings, 23 versus Idaho State on March 5 and 24 more versus Weber State on March 7. He had 34 points in a Feb. 6 loss at Montana, and a pair of 26-point performances in wins over Montana State on Jan. 18 and Portland State on Jan. 4. He had a 39-point effort earlier this season against North Dakota to rank as the 11th-most in school history (10th at the time). He had 19 points in the first half and 20 in the second, and his total of 17 field goals made ranked second in school history (now third). Davison also scored 25 in the Seattle win earlier this season on Nov. 9 and had 26 versus Boston College on Nov. 20. Was selected to the six-player preseason All-Big Sky Conference team, along with teammate Mason Peatling. He also joined Peatling as one of the team’s co-captains for the 2019-20 season, as well as Kim Aiken Jr.
 
2018-19: Earned third team All-Big Sky honors as selected by the league’s head coaches despite missing the last 10 games of the season with an ankle injury. Davison scored 62 points in two games – including the seventh-most in school history with 41 versus Northern Arizona (2/4/19) – to earn Big Sky Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week on Feb. 5 by the league office. Davison became just the ninth player in Eastern's basketball history to score at least 40 points in a single game. He followed that with a team-high 24 points versus Montana State (2/7/19) and 23 against Montana (2/9/19), and scored at least 20 in six of the last eight games he played. However, an ankle injury against Northern Colorado (2/16/19) sidelined for the remainder of the season. He averaged 23.8 points in his last eight outings, with EWU winning five of those games. He made 52.2 percent of his shots in those games, making 19-of-44 3-point attempts (43.2 percent) and 29-of-37 free throws (78.4 percent), and also averaged 4.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals. Davison averaged 15.2 points on the season and a team-leading 18.5 in league play. He didn’t meet the minimum of playing in 75 percent of a team’s games to be ranked in league statistics, but he would have ranked fifth in scoring in league games if he did (18.5). He would have ranked sixth in the Big Sky in scoring overall (15.2), and would have been seventh in the league in free throw shooting at 81.1 percent (60-of-74). Davison missed EWU's first two games in 2018-19 because of wrist and ankle injuries, but returned to play versus Green Bay (11/16/18) and UMKC (11/17/18). He had an 11-point performance in his season debut, then scored eight points and had two assists in the next game. He had 26 points at Portland State (1/24/19), sinking 10-of-21 shots with three 3-pointers. He scored 23 with three assists, three rebounds, three steals and two blocked shots versus Montana State (1/19/19). He scored what was then a career-high 25 points versus North Dakota State (12/8/18), sinking 11-of-19 shots from the floor with a trio of 3-pointers. He had 20, with four 3-pointers, five rebounds and three assists, against South Dakota State on (12/18/18). He scored at least 20 points in eight Eastern games, with 15 performances in double-digits. He was EWU's leading scorer in seven games, and also led in steals on nine occasions and blocked shots in six games.
 
2017-18: Davison made the first start of his career at Seattle (12/3/17) and started seven-straight games. He came off the bench in the last 21 and averaged 7.1 points on the season. His debut season ended with seven points, a career-high four steals and three rebounds in EWU’s loss to Utah Valley (3/13/18) in the College Basketball Invitational. He scored 41 points and had 14 rebounds in three Big Sky Tournament games, including 16 in both the semifinals and championship game. He scored in double figures seven times in his last 13 games, including 14 points in EWU’s regular season finale versus Northern Arizona (3/3/18) and 17 at Weber State (2/22/18). During Eastern’s eight-game winning streak from Feb. 15 to March 9, Davison averaged 11.3 points on 27-of-51 shooting from the field (52.9 percent) and 10-of-22 from the 3-point line (45.5 percent). He also made 26-of-27 free throws (96.3 percent). He had his best scoring game in more than two months in finishing with 12 against Sacramento State (2/1/18), then had another dozen (all in the second half) three games later against Montana (2/15/18). Those performances were his most since scoring 15 at Utah (11/24/17) when he had his third double-figure scoring performance in a four-game span. He came off the bench to score 20 against Georgia State (11/20/17), and had 11 one game earlier versus UNLV (11/17/17).
