Bio

2019-20: Carson-Newman's leading scorer for 2019-20, Davis averaged 14.1 points to go along with 4.6 rebounds. He dished out 67 assissts as well to rank third on the team. Davis had an exceptional middle portion of the year. From Dec. 18 - Jan. 11 Tennessee State Transfer Tripp Davis posted five consecutive 20+ point outings against Mars Hill, Catawba, LenoirRhyne and Queens. He’s the first player to achieve that since Charles Clark scored 20 or more in six straight games to close his junior year in 2017. Davis and Clark are the only players since the turn of the century to post five more more 20+ point games in consecutive fashion. Davis averaged 23.6 a game on his string while shooting 53 percent from the field and 50 percent from three. Davis scored in double digits on 17 occasions on the year and had six games with at least 20 on the season. He topped out against Mars Hill (12/18) with a career-best 27. Davis knocked down six threes in that game, also a career high. He produced a pair of double-doubles with a 15-point, 15-rebound showing at Wingate (1/25) and an 18-point, 10-board day at No. 2 Lincoln Memorial (11/26). Davis dished out five assists on four occasions against UVa-Wise (1/22), Catawba (1/4), Tennessee Wesleyan (11/18) and Shorter (11/13).

PRIOR TO CARSON-NEWMAN: Davis turned in a stellar junior season with Tennessee State, starting 22 games and appearing in all 30 contests the Tigers played in 2018-19. He was TSU’s fifth-leading scorer, chipping in 7.8 points per game on 47 percent shooting from the field and 38 percent shooting from long range. Davis averaged 3.0 boards per game. He produced 10 double-digit scoring games and a trio of 20-point efforts in his junior year. Davis turned in a career-high 24 points on 9-of-11 shooting, including 6-of-8 from long range against Fisk. He followed that up with a 20-point game against Cal State-Northridge. He wrapped up his junior year with his final 20-point game against UT-Martin. In his first two seasons, he appeared in 23 games and averaged 0.9 points per game before his breakout junior year.

HIGH SCHOOL: In high school, Davis led Lighthouse Christian to a national championship in 2015 by winning the National Association of Christian Athletes (NACA) Tournament. He was named to the All-Midstate Second Team by The Tennessean as a senior. He is Lighthouse’s all-time leading scorer and the first person in school history with more than 2,000 career points.
