At USC Davis become a featured ball carrier the last 6 games of the 1972 season. He amazingly managed 1,191 yards and 17 touchdowns at season’s end. With stats such as these, Anthony cemented himself as one of the greatest rushers in PAC-8 and NCAA history.

A two-time First Team All-Conference pick, he became the first player in PAC-8 history to rush for at least 1,000 yards in three individual seasons. A two-time recipient of the Voit Trophy as the Most Outstanding Player on the West Coast, Davis led USC in rushing, scoring and kick return yardage for three consecutive seasons. He still ranks third on USC’s career rushing chart (3,724 yards), and he set an NCAA record with 6 scoring kickoff returns in his career, including 3 in 1974.

Well known as the greatest kickoff return man in college football history, Davis averaged 36.6 yards per kickoff. He is long remembered for scoring 11 touchdowns in three games against Notre Dame.

Anthony Davis’ talents weren’t just limited to football; he was also successful in baseball. He was an outfielder and switch-hitter on USC’s 1972, 1973 and 1974 College World Series champion baseball teams. Playing with wood bats at the time, Davis hit .273 with 6 home runs, 45 RBIs and 13 stolen bases for the Trojan’s 1974 National Championship Baseball team.

During his Trojan career, Davis won five National Championships – two in football, three in baseball. As a two-sport standout, Davis holds the distinction of being the only player in school history to start for a National Champion Football team (1972) and a National Champion Baseball team (1974).
