But as they honors were being handed out last summer, they meant something to Utah State cornerback Jalen Davis. That’s because when the All-Mountain West preseason team was announced in July, the Aggie senior wasn’t on it.
“There were some guys on my team that saw that,” Utah State Matt Wells said, “and used it as internal motivation.”
But there can be no overlooking Davis now. Forget the Mountain West. The cornerback who could only get one Division I college to offer him a scholarship out of high school, is now an All-American.
“I’ve always had All-American in my goals since I’ve been here,” Davis said.
