Davis entered the transfer portal on March 15, before new coach Scott Nagy was hired.
The freshman wing out of St. Louis played in all 32 games this past season and started in 10. He averaged 4.2 points and 3.0 rebounds but was best known for his defense on the floor.
Davis was a three-star prospect out of high school.
His return marks the second player to return to the program, joining Jarrett Hensley, and the ninth player in total to commit to Scott Nagy’s program.
Here is a look at SIU’s current 2024-25 committed roster:
6’3 G Sheridan Sharp (So)
6’3 G Damien Mayo Jr. (Jr)
6’5 G Drew Steffe (R-Fr)
