Early years

Davis lettered at Ellsworth High School in Ellsworth, Kansas, where he played tight end, linebacker, and defensive back. As a senior, Davis caught 857 yards and 15 touchdowns and was selected to play in the 2017 Kansas Shrine All-Star Bowl, where he was Ellsworth's first selection in 25 years. [1] Despite the performance, Kaden was a zero-star recruit who received not a single NCAA Division I scholarship, although Kansas State offered him a walk-on spot in track.

Davis first attended Butler Community College and primarily served as a returner. He was offered a walk-on spot at Kansas State, but chose a full-ride scholarship and an immediate starting position at Northwest Missouri State, a NCAA Division II school. As a senior, Davis led the team with 10 touchdowns on 703 yards receiving, helping the team to a semifinal playoff appearance and earning all-conference honors. [2]

Davis earned an invitation to the Shrine Bowl, where he received publicity for playing while dressed up as Joker from The Dark Knight. [3]
