NORFOLK, Va. - Old Dominion women’s basketball head coach DeLisha Milton-Jones is welcoming 13 transfers to the Monarchs’ 2026-27 roster. The second incoming student-athlete is Mia Davis, a 6-foot-1-inch guard who is joining ODU from Scottsdale Community College.
“Mia Davis is a Swiss Army knife with great size; she can play all three guard positions as well as being a smaller interior player as well,” said Milton-Jones. “Out of high school, she was an ESPN National Top 100 player as well as the number one player in her class out of Arizona.”
“Mia is so versatile, her potential is endless, and she has not played her best basketball yet,” added Jones. “Mia will be used in so many different ways. She will give us different options on both ends of the floor. Davis can score in many different ways and has great passing capabilities. She also has things she has to get better at, but time will show how great she can be for the program.”

Davis spent her first two seasons at San Diego State and appeared in 25 games as a freshman before utilizing a redshirt season in her sophomore campaign. The Phoenix, Ariz. native averaged 3.7 points and 1.8 rebounds in 11.7 minutes per game and earned Mountain West Freshman of the Week on Jan. 29, 2024. She earned the selection thanks to an 18-point outing in 21 minutes of action and made five three pointers in the second half against Utah State in a 76-62 win over the Aggies. Davis put together a 17-point performance against Utah State just under a month later on Feb. 17, 2024. She had a season-high eight rebounds against Colorado State on Feb. 3, 2024.
This past season Davis had a tremendous season for Scottsdale Community College, notably having six games of 20+ points and a season high of 28 in her debut against Grand Canyon Club. She scored 27 points against Chandler-Gilbert Community College. Davis also notched a 22-point performance against Pima Community College. She finished the season with an average 15.0 points per game on 39.8% shooting from the field and averaged 6.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. At the free throw line, Davis shot 75.5% and she finished the season with 111 free throws made. Her per 40 minute stats average out to 23.4 points ,10.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists.
Davis was a four-star recruit out of high school and attended Dream City Christian for her final two years and was ranked the #1 player in Arizona after the completion of her sophomore season. Unfortunately, an injury held her out of action for the final two years of high school eligibility. She averaged 11.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.8 steals as a sophomore at Phoenix Xavier Prep and a 6A state semifinal appearance. Davis was named a second team all-conference selection as a freshman and a first team all-conference honoree as a sophomore. Her father, Prileu Davis, played collegiate basketball at Louisville.
