Davis, a redshirt freshman, moved into the starting spot at guard during spring drills. Injuries cut a swath through the offensive line during last Saturday's scrimmage, which left one redshirt freshman and three freshmen in the line beside senior center Fernando Velasco.
With all the inexperienced linemen, play was a little ragged. Since Davis was the redshirt freshman, he was the second-most experienced line starter up front durin Monday's practice.
