Four-time All-MAC honoree to be posthumously induced into hall of fame tonight
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – One of the all-time great wide receivers in Central Michigan football history and the Mid-American Conference gets his just due tonight.
Titus Davis, who played at CMU from 2011-14, will posthumously be inducted into the Central Michigan University Marcy Weston Athletics Hall of Fame during a 6 p.m. ceremony in McGuirk Arena in the Kulhavi Events Center.
Davis will be represented by family members both at tonight's induction and on Saturday, when the hall Class of 2025 will be introduced during the CMU-Eastern Michigan football game on Kramer/Deromedi Field at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
Davis, who died at age 27 in 2020 of a rare form of kidney cancer, is one of just three Chippewas to earn All-MAC honors in each of his four seasons and he remains CMU's career leader in touchdown receptions and receiving yards, and its season leader in touchdown receptions.
When he departed CMU for the NFL following the 2014 season, he ranked 20th in Football Bowl Subdivision history in career touchdowns, and third in MAC history in touchdown receptions and fourth in receiving yards.
In his final game as a Chippewa, the thrilling 2014 Bahamas Bowl against Western Kentucky, Davis caught an NCAA bowl-game record four touchdown passes.
The last of those TDs was one of the most memorable in CMU football history. Davis was the fifth Chippewa to touch the ball on the play, a Hail Mary pass from quarterback Cooper Rush. Davis took a lateral from teammate Courtney Williams and raced the final 15 yards to the pylon and crossed the goal line to bring CMU within a point on the final play of the game.
CMU's two-point conversion failed, allowing Western Kentucky to escape with a 49-48 win, but the play and the Chippewas' historic comeback – they scored 35 points in the fourth quarter – has gone down in college football bowl-game lore
Davis, a Wheaton, Ill. native, twice earned the Herb Deromedi Award as the Chippewas' most valuable player and he became the first player in Football Bowl Subdivision history with eight or more receiving touchdowns in four seasons. He was named CMU's Offensive Player of the Year in 2012.
