MaxPreps has stats. In 2025 Davis went 145-674 4.6 AVE 41 LONG 21 TD's.
Besides UMass, Davis has offers from Kent State, Miami (Ohio) and Toledo. He could find a home in Amherst and get a great East Coast education as well.
Except for 2025, kicking has been a thorn in the side of UMass football fans since the move to FBS. We wish Bemant a highly productive career--and a scholarship with the Minutemen!

The Toledo Blade has a story on what teams should be considered for future MAC expansion.
There are some interesting names in the article: UConn and Liberty are powerhouse athletic programs. South Dakota State has a flood of Permian Basin oil money. Western Kentucky has a basketball program all UMass fans could envy.

Speaking of UConn, they just released their 2026 football schedule.
Something called the the UConn round table has what reads like a AI-written post on UConn's schedule and calls UMass an FCS team..
The Huskies 2026 schedule is significantly stronger than 2025. I think UConn's win total will drop sharply this year.
