Dan Enos, who spent time at Michigan and Michigan State and was head coach at CMU during Davis’ career, reacted to the news:
“I’m heartbroken by the loss of Titus, who was first and foremost an outstanding person,” said Enos. “On the field, he was a phenomenal athlete and competitor. He was also a great friend and teammate to many.
“From the first moments we started recruiting him, we at CMU football knew he was something incredibly special. He was a joy to coach and to be around. My deepest sympathies are extended to his family during this difficult time.”
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Davis family.
