5. Cody Davis (2008-2012)

He might not have been the flashiest or most athletic defensive back the Red Raiders have seen in Jones AT&T stadium since 1998, but the safety out of Stephenville High School (Texas) was the epitome of consistency and fundamentals in his four years as a Red Raider.

Davis finished his career with 49 total starts, 362 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, four interceptions and four forced fumbles. He also had awards including the Phil Steele Freshman All-American (2009), All-Big 12 Honorable Mention (2010), Academic All-Big 12 First Team (2011), Phil Steele All-Big 12 2nd Team (2012) and Capital One Academic All American First Team (2012). Davis anchored the Tech defense and was a measure of consistency and leadership despite having four different defensive coordinators during his tenure.

He now plays for the St. Louis Rams.
