AUSTIN, Tex. (3/15/2022) -- University of Detroit Mercy senior Antoine Davis has rewritten the Titan and Horizon League record books and is on the verge of cementing his place among the best in college basketball history, but today, he received one of the highest honors for his work off the court as he was named to the Academic All-America® Second Team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

Just like his selection to the Academic All-District Team by the organization a few weeks ago, he is the first men's basketball player in school history to earn the honor and just the 19th Titan student-athlete overall to receive the prestigious academic accolade. 

He was one of just two players in the Horizon League on the academic lists as Kahliel Spear of Robert Morris was also a Second Team honoree. 

He is set to graduate this spring and holds a 3.39 GPA in Communications. He is a two-time member of the Athletic Director's Academic Honor Roll and is a member of the Horizon League Honor Roll. He was also named to the HL All-Academic Team just a few weeks ago.

Davis is leading the Horizon League in a number of statistical categories and ranks third in the country in scoring at 23.9 points per game as he looks to make a bid to finish top four in scoring for the fourth-straight year (26.1 for third in 2019, 24.3 for fourth in 2020, 24.0 for third in 2021). He is also second in the nation with 3.93 three-point field goals per game and sixth with 110, 3-pointers on the season.

CoSIDA began the distinguished Academic All-America® program in 1952, and since then, has honored thousands of deserving student-athletes from numerous sports across all divisions with these elite Academic All-America® scholar-athlete honors.

The Academic All-America® program is comprised of divisional teams for NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA. Added for the 2018-19 academic year was a separate at-large program for two-year schools and Canadian institutions. 

Davis will look to lead the Titans to a run in the postseason as the Titans are playing in The Basketball Classic presented by Eracism and will open the event tomorrow on the road at Florida Gulf Coast.
