Judd Dillon Davis (born c. 1973) is an American former football player who was the 1993 recipient of the Lou Groza Award recognizing the best placekicker in college football.
Davis grew up in Ocala, Florida. He attended Forest High School in Ocala, and played high school football for the Forest Wildcats as both punter and placekicker. During his high school senior season, he completed seven of eight field goals attempts, with a long of 49 yards, and averaged over 40 yards per punt.
Davis attended the All-American honors from United Press International and third-team honors from the Associated Press. He received first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) honors as a senior in 1994.[1]
During his three-season college career, Davis set or tied eight school records and three SEC records. In 1994 he surpassed former Gators running back Emmitt Smith to become the Gators' all-time leading scorer with 225 career points. Including bowl games, Davis completed nearly 87 percent of his field goal attempts (33 of 38) inside of 50 yards. He completed two of four attempts greater than 50 yards, including a career long of 52 year against the Ole Miss Rebels in 1994. On point-after-touchdown attempts, he completed 129 of 131 extra points, a new team record.
Davis graduated from Florida with a bachelor's degree in American studies in 1995. He was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame as a "Gator Great" in 2011.[2]
