Davis spent four years at USC (2015-2019), racking up 201 yards on 37 carries, and 11 receptions for 121 yards. The California product, who came to USC as a tailback, also sprinted on the Trojan track team.
In addition to the new signings, the Elks also announced the release of Nih-Jer Jackson (WR), Josh Simmons (WR) and Scott Crough (K).
