Tae Davis is Irish

SOUTH BEND, IN – Another Indiana kid comes home. Glenn & Stacey Murphy Head Men’s Basketball Coach Micah Shrewsberry announced the addition of transfer Tae Davis on Wednesday. The 6-7 forward out of Indianapolis arrives in South Bend after competing for one year at Seton Hall. 

“Tae will be a great fit here at Notre Dame, on and off the court,” Shrewsberry explained. “He is a great kid who comes from a basketball family. His versatility and basketball IQ will allow us to use him in a lot of different ways offensively and defensively.”

“For me, it’s all about competing,” Davis said. “No matter who you are, you’re going to get a chance. Whatever they need me to do, they’re going to get. I will work for everything.”

Davis played in 32 games as a true freshman at Seton Hall where he averaged 2.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.4 minutes per game. He scored 11 points against Monmouth in the season opener, becoming the first Pirate freshman since 2006 to score in double figures in his debut. Davis registered double-digit points one other time – 10 points and seven rebounds in the win over Drexel. 

Davis attended Warren Central High and was ranked as a top-8 prospect in the state of Indiana according to 247 Sports. He ultimately finished his high school career with 1,178 points and 492 rebounds. 

He averaged 22.0 points and 10.0 rebounds as a senior, and he was named to the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association “Supreme 15.” A year prior, Davis was named an Indiana All-Star after guiding Warren Central to a 19-7 record.
