DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  -- It's always nice to have a wide receiver who can make the big catch when the game is on the line. Bethune-Cookman redshirt sophomore Jawill Davis did just that Saturday to help the Wildcats edge host Grambling State in a high-scoring affair, 56-53, in Grambling, Louisiana, the final MEAC and SWAC matchup before the inaugural Celebration Bowl in December.

The 5-foot-11, 177-pound Davis earned ESPN.com HBCU Player of the Week honors against the Tigers, posting a career-best eight receptions for a career-high 199 yards and two touchdowns in Bethune-Cookman's late rally.

Moments after Davis' first career TD reception of 29 yards, with 3:37 remaining, the Wildcats were down 46-41. B-CU quarterback Quentin Williams (17-for-22, 244 yards, 3 TDs) threw a 28-yard pass to Davis for the score that shifted the momentum.
