Glenn Woodward Davis

Glenn Woodward Davis (December 26, 1924, Claremont, California - March 9, 2005) was an American football player famous in the 1940s. A member of the Class of 1947 at the United States Military Academy at West Point, Davis teamed with Doc Blanchard to form a devastating pair of runners. With Davis and Blanchard, Army went 27-0-1 between 1944 and 1946.

Davis, nicknamed "Mr. Outside", won the Heisman Trophy in 1946. He was also among the runners up in 1944 and 1945. Blanchard, his teammate, won the award in 1945. Davis also was named the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year in 1946. As a collegian, Davis scored a then-record 59 touchdowns. He still holds the record for most yards averaged per carry in a season, with 11.5 yards in 1945.

After graduation, Davis served three years in the military before joining the Los Angeles Rams. A knee injury in 1952 ended his professional career.

He died of prostate cancer at La Quinta, California.

Glenn Woodward Davis should not be confused with Glenn Ashby Davis, the former Olympic champion in the 100 meter hurdles.
