Kaden Davis (born September 25, 1998) is an American professional football wide receiver who is a free agent. He played college football at Northwest Missouri State.

Early years

[edit]

Davis lettered at Ellsworth High School in Ellsworth, Kansas, where he played tight end, linebacker, and defensive back. As a senior, Davis caught 857 yards and 15 touchdowns and was selected to play in the 2017 Kansas Shrine All-Star Bowl, where he was Ellsworth's first selection in 25 years.[1] Despite the performance, Kaden was a zero-star recruit who received not a single NCAA Division I scholarship, although Kansas State offered him a walk-on spot in track.

Davis first attended Butler Community College and primarily served as a returner. He was offered a walk-on spot at Kansas State, but chose a full-ride scholarship and an immediate starting position at Northwest Missouri State, an NCAA Division II school. As a senior, Davis led the team with 10 touchdowns on 703 yards receiving, helping the team to a semifinal playoff appearance and earning all-conference honors.[2]
