Will Davis, a four-year (2004-07) LSU letterman as a catcher, enters his sixth season on the coaching staff after helping lead the Tigers to the 2009 national title, two College World Series appearances and two SEC championships in the past five seasons.

He was promoted to volunteer coach in June 2008 after serving one season as coordinator of baseball operations.

Davis, a Baton Rouge native, coaches the LSU outfielders, and he serves as director of the Paul Mainieri/LSU Baseball Camps. He also works as the staff liaison to the LSU baseball Coaches' Committee (booster club) and as the staff liaison to all former LSU baseball players.

Davis coached in 2012 first-team all-American Raph Rhymes, who led the NCAA in hitting with a .431 average, and all-SEC performer Mason Katz, who launched a team-best 13 home runs. Davis supervised the development in 2011 of first-team All-American Mikie Mahtook, the first-round MLB Draft selection of the Tampa Bay Rays.

Other prominent Davis pupils include outfielder Leon Landry, the third-round draft selection of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2010 and outfielder Jared Mitchell, the 2009 first-round draft choice of the Chicago White Sox.

Davis, who earned a secondary education degree from LSU in 2007, was a two-time member of the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll. He earned an LSU master's degree in kinesiology in May 2010.

Davis' father, Randy, was an LSU graduate assistant coach under Skip Bertman from 1988-90, helping lead the Tigers to College World Series appearances in 1989 and 1990. Randy Davis later served as an assistant coach at South Carolina and as head coach at Louisiana Tech.
