Former college football star Titus Davis dies at 27 after battling rare cancer

Titus davis – who broke Antonio brown‘s WR records in Central Michigan – died after battling a rare form of cancer.

He was only 27 years old.

Titus – older brother of Tennessee Titans Wideout Corey davis – released his diagnosis in July, revealing he suffered from a rare and aggressive kidney cancer called renal medullary carcinoma.

He underwent chemotherapy to fight the disease – but ultimately died on Wednesday. He is survived by his 2 sons.

Titus was a monster during his 4 years at central Michigan from 2011 to 2014 – racking up 3,700 receiving yards and 37 touchdowns over the course of his career, setting academic records in both categories.

He is the only player in college football history to have had 8 or more touchdowns in four different seasons.

Titus signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2015 – where he was a member of the practice squad. He also spent time as a practice player with the New York Jets, Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills.

Former university coach of Titus Dan Enos released a statement on Davis’ death – saying he “was heartbroken”.

“On the pitch he was a phenomenal athlete and competitor. He was also a great friend and teammate to many.”

“From the first moment we started recruiting him we at CMU football knew he was something incredibly special. It was a joy to coach and be there. My deepest condolences go out to his family during this difficult time. “
