As a senior, he caught 108 passes for 2,009 yards and 25 touchdowns and helped lead Gaffney to a 13–1 record and an appearance in the South Carolina state championship game.

Davis was chosen as a Parade All-American and named Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of South Carolina.

He finished the season with 41 catches for 470 yards and six scores, tying Hakeem Nicks for most career touchdowns by a Tar Heel receiver.

In Carolina's bowl game against Rutgers, Davis broke his right tibia while attempting to catch a pass in the end zone for a touchdown and had to be assisted off of the field.

The Tar Heels saw their most success during Davis' senior year, during which he was a significant weapon in the potent Carolina offense.

In perhaps what was the highlight of the season, Davis caught the winning touchdown in Lane Stadium in Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer's final home game.
