Now a high school senior, Davis signed a letter of intent to play softball at Hampton University in Virginia.
The athlete has a line of sports bras and, to celebrate her collegiate decision, she has launched a new bra in Hampton University's colors.
"I'm very excited. It was a long process," said Davis. "What it came down to is where it felt like home. Hampton felt like home."
