Maryland Athletics 2022 Hall of Fame Spotlight: Vernon Davis


Many people may not know that Davis’ love for the creative arts began during his time at Maryland. 

Davis came into school as a criminal justice major. However, after taking a few art studio classes, he realized that major was the better fit.

“It was a moment for me to realize art was something I was in love with,” Davis said. “I didn’t know that before I changed my major. I always knew I liked the arts, but I didn’t know I could actually be good at it.”

Davis wasn’t sold immediately, mainly because art studio wasn’t considered a traditional major at the time. But, after a bit of prodding, he took a leap of faith. 

“I decided to take the chance,” Davis said. “And that’s what life is about: taking chances.”

“The reason people don’t succeed in certain areas is because they’re afraid to take chances,” Davis added. “And for me, I’ve never really been afraid to take a chance. I took that chance and didn’t look back. I didn’t know what was going to happen, but I just relied on my faith and my passion for what I was doing.”
