DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Bethune-Cookman senior defensive end Ryan Davis continues to reap accolades from his outstanding performance helping the Wildcats to defeat then 24th ranked Norfolk State last Thursday night on ESPNU. After receiving MEAC Defensive Player of the Week, and National FCS Defensive Player of the Week from The Sports Network on Monday, he received three more notable honors on Tuesday.
The 6-4, senior from Tampa recorded 11 tackles (8 solo), six tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery, not only helping B-CU top NSU 14-6 but also adding the honor of Box to Row National HBCU Player of the Week.
Davis, a 2010 Box to Row All-American, is also featured on www.boxtorow.com and will also appear as a guest on the sports talk show 'From The Press Box To Press Row' with host Donal Ware. The show airs on 38 radio stations around the country including Saturday right before the Wildcats take the field against North Carolina Central on Goliath Radio WELE-AM 1380 in the Daytona Beach area and on Saturday from 1-2 p.m. ET at www.boxtorow.com

In addition to the BTR nod, Davis also earned recognition as one of the National Defensive Athletes of the Week from the Beyond Sports Networks, based out of Leesburg, Va.
Davis also picked up recognition from the College Football Performance Awards (CFPA), his third of the season and B-CU's 16th time receiving a piece of CFPA recognition on the year.
Davis was named National Defensive Player of the Week by CFPA, sharing the award with Montori Hughes of UT-Martin. This is B-CU's first top position award from CFPA in 2011. Davis also was named CFPA's Defensive Lineman weekly national honoree for his performance.
Davis and the Wildcats (4-3, 2-2 MEAC) are working hard this week in preparation for their second straight road game, traveling to Durham, N.C. for a Saturday matchup with North Carolina Central (1-6, 0-4 MEAC).
