Radford SR OL/LB 52 Charlie Davis
Why do you wear #52? No true reason behind it… (wore) 50 my Freshman year. (I) couldn’t get it again, so I took 52. That’s how it happened.
Pregame Ritual? I’ve worn the same pair of underwear for game day, every game since 8th grade. That’s an interesting little thing. I’ve had them sewn up because they were starting to rip out… have a listen to the same playlist (I listen to), walk the numbers on the field every single time. I am very superstitious…same bandana, I’ve gotta keep it the same every time.
Favorite Music/Artist? I have always been a big fan of Zac Brown and Jimmy Buffett.
Favorite Class and Teacher? I have always been a big Math guy… Start with my Math teacher, Mr. Carrow… gives us candy every day… get’s the mind moving.
Who makes you better in practice? Definitely, just Me and Landen (QB 7 Clark)…been friends since middle school. I’ll get in his head… we throw punches here and there… aggression gets up, but at the end of the day we get better. It’s a great time.
Who did you want to play well for tonight? Probably just my Dad (Richie Davis)…My dad’s coaching this year. It’s his first year back coaching. He coached with (Coach) Lineburg and (Coach) Beamer when they were here. When we lost our defensive coordinator, Josh Woods, last year, there was a spot open and it kind of worked perfectly. I definitely trust my dad.
Are you going to play in college? Hopefully in college. There are a few schools looking at me… I hope to see something soon
What’s your nickname? So my name is Charlie, so ‘Chuck’ and ‘Cyclone.’ It (Cyclone) came from a wrestling nickname.
Favorite place to eat and favorite food? Definitely the Dawg House. In the Summer, we’d go there right after workouts. I would get a bacon cheeseburger, bacon cheese fries,… a big ol’ pink lemonade. After a workout, you eat that… it’s game changing.
