Former Central Michigan wide receiver Titus Davis, the brother of Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis, has passed away at the age of 27.
Davis had been battling a rare former of cancer of the kidneys called Renal Medullary Carcinoma. He was diagnosed in July.
His death was announced on Twitter by Dolphins safety Kavon Frazier, a teammate of Davis’ at Central Michigan.
RIP Titus Davis. Still to this day one of the most talented players I’ve played with. 🙏🏾

Davis played four seasons at Central Michigan and is arguable the greatest receiver in the programs history. He was the first player in FBS history with eight or more receiving touchdowns in four different seasons, and he passed Antonio Brown to hold program records for receiving yards (3,700) and receiving touchdowns (37). He is fourth in program history with 204 career receptions.
He went undrafted in 2015 and spent time with the Chicago Bears, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills and San Diego Chargers practice squads.
On the last play of his collegiate career he scored a touchdown on a three-lateral play as time expired in the 2014 Bahamas Bowl.
