Southeast Missouri State's Davis named OVC co-specialist in football

Southeast Missouri state junior Spencer Davis was named the Ohio Valley Conference co-specialist of the week Sunday.

Davis had 167 all-purpose yards, including 126 on kick returns, during Saturday's 55-33 loss at third-ranked Eastern Illinois.

Davis scored on a kickoff return for the first time in his college career when he raced 93 yards with 1 minute, 26 seconds left to play in the game. It was the third-longest kickoff return in Southeast history.

Davis also caught five passes for 41 yards and scored the Redhawks' first touchdown of the game on a 15-yard reception.
