BEMIDJI, Minn. – Bemidji State University Football head coach Brent Bolte is excited to announce the addition of Neal Davis to the Beaver Football coaching staff as Assistant Coach in charge of the Offensive Line and Recruiting Coordination.
 
Davis joins the Beaver Football family after most recently serving as a Graduate Assistant Offensive Line Coach at Wake Forest during the 2023 and 2022 seasons assisting offensive line coach Nick Tabacca.
 
"We are excited to have Neal and his family join Beaver Football," said head coach Brent Bolte. "He fits in with our blue collar, grind the axe mentality and I am excited to see him get to work with the guys at the Chet."
 
During his time with the Demon Deacons, Davis helped the 2022 team to an eight-win season and Gasparilla Bowl victory. That team finished first in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and 10^th nationally in first downs as well as first in the conference in fewest penalty yards and red zone offense. The Demon Decons also finished second in the conference in passing offense and scoring offense that season as well as fourth in third-down conversions.
 
Davis also helped in the development of four All-ACC selections as well as two-time Campbell Trophy semifinalist Michael Jurgens given to an individual as the absolute best in the country for his academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership.
 
Prior to his time at Wake Forest, Davis served as a Graduate Assistant Offensive Line Coach at Eastern Illinois University for the 2020 season.
 
Davis spent his college days at University of Findlay where he was a four-year starter at center for the football program and started all 46 games at the position during his career. There he was named UF's Male Athlete of the Year (2020), First Team All-GMAC and All-Super Region Third Team selection. In the classroom, Davis earned Second Team Academic All-America honors.
