03 Sep 2023 501 Football Team 2023: Cade Davis – Magnet Cove

After finishing in the middle of the pack in the competitive Class 4-3A conference last season, Magnet Cove enters the fall with a chip on its shoulder. 

Behind sturdy skill position players, steadfast senior leadership and an experienced defensive corps, strength is the Panthers’ biggest advantage this season.  

“Our goals for this season began as soon as the final whistle sounded last season,” senior strong safety Cade Davis said. “From working hard in the weight room to pushing ourselves at summer camps and offseason practices, our guys are going to be ready to give it everything we have each time those stadium lights are on this season.”

“Cade made a lot of plays, defensively, for us last year,” Magnet Cove head coach Dean Adams said. “He is an extremely hard worker and a very unselfish player who is willing to help his team win any way that he can. As a returning starter, we are expecting him to have a big senior year, defensively.”

After missing time due to injury last season, Davis aims to leave it all on the field every Friday night in his senior swan song. 

“I want to be remembered as the kid who wasn’t afraid to sacrifice himself,” Davis said. “The kid who played assignment football, made plays and showed good sportsmanship. My goal this season is to be the best I can be to benefit my team. I want to be a leader that my teammates can look up to on and off the field.”
