Before this season, Thierrien Davis had never started at tailback for Eleanor Roosevelt High School. Last season, he was the primary back-up, but never cracked the starting position.

Things changed this season, when the player they call Bud became the starting tailback and thrived in his new role. Eleanor Roosevelt Head Coach Rick Houchens was very pleased with Davis’ success as a senior.

“He was probably one of the biggest surprises for us this season,” Houchens said of Davis. “He really helped us go deep into the playoffs this year. He’s one of the top backs in Maryland. In my opinion, he may be the most versatile back in the state…he can run and he is a great receiver. Bud plays low, he’s physical, and very elusive. He’s also very fast. He has run a 4.33 in the 40 before. He’s one of those 100 meter guys…in fact, he ran a 10.65 at the Morgan Invitational.”

As a senior, Davis rushed for over 1,400 yards on just 153 carries and had 380 yards receiving, scoring 13 touchdowns. His off-the-field credentials are just as impressive, as he boasts a 3.57 grade point average and has scored 1,180 on the SAT’s.
