He brings in 17 years of experience at the college level with stops at NCAA Division II Tiffin University, and fellow NAIA schools Campbellsville University and Southeastern University, this stop is his first holding the helm as the head coach.

Speaking at the conference he said, “We’re going to come in and build a dynasty and leave a legacy.” Davis also spoke about wanting to get out into the community saying, “I spoke to my realtor, and she said that you do not really see TU people out in the community, so I want us to go out into the community and show them that we are here.”

Davis brings experience as a National Guard recruiter as well, “I have experience working with the military from Winthrop College,” he said. “I helped recruit players that were interested in going into the military.”

The first game of the Vincent Davis era will be on the road on August 30th against Bluefield University.
