There's just something about Carrollwood Day running back Robert Davis that screams superstar.

Maybe it's the way he runs on the football field, zigging and zagging away from tacklers and breaking off 25-plus-yard runs like it's effortless. It could be the fact that's he's just 1,966 yards away from breaking the Hillsborough County all-time rushing record. Or maybe it's the way he does it all, with an ear-to-ear smile that could light up a football field.

Whatever the case, the 5-foot-8, 170-pound all-purpose back is a dynamic player on and off the field that won't take any credit for his own success.

"I’m a nice, humble young man, really doing it throughout the faith of god," Davis said. "He strengthens me. I’m out here playing every day for my family, god and friends."

He's also out there playing for Carrollwood Day, a relatively small school he's single-handidly helping put on the map. The Patriots averaged 42.3 points per game last season, with Davis leading the way, rushing for 1,832 yards. If they continue that scoring binge, Davis should certainly have a shot at breaking Riverview's Avious Steadman's 5,320-yard rushing record.

But his focus isn't all on rewriting history.

"Honestly, it doesn’t really matter to me," Davis said. "As long as my team has a successful season and we get to be district champs, I’d be very appreciative of that. If I’m also able to get the rushing title for Hillsborough County within the process, that’s always a plus. I’d like to have my name written in the record books."

He couldn't help make that statement without his signature grin, showing just how much that rushing title would mean to him.

He's enjoying playing both ways on the field, especially experimenting as a defensive back. He says it's similar to a certain position he's already excelling at.

"Safety, I’m falling in love with that position," he said. "It’s much like (being) a running back on defense. I’ve got a lot on my hands this year, so I have to fulfill those duties."

It's not all about football for Davis. His grades are just as important as the gridiron.

"I’ve got my senior year to focus on," Davis said. "Colleges will always be there. I have to understand that I’m also a student-athlete, so I have to get those grades and academics so I can go on to the next level and play ball."

Despite all the numbers, Davis isn't getting the attention from some of the big schools across the country like other top recruits in the area. So far, Ball State, Bowling Green, FIU, Holy Cross, Middle Tennessee State and Presbyterian have offered. USF and Miami have stayed in contact, along with a host of other schools, but Davis still favers his very first offer.

"I’d probably say my favorite, out of all right now, so far, still is FIU," he said. "Coach Apollo Wright is one of my favorite coaches I’ve ever met in my entire life. He’s such a great young man. He’s talked to me so much.

"Just talking to him makes things so much better. I appreciated that first offer and the first is always the best, you know?"
