Drew Davis named Assistant Volleyball Coach at UE
|
|
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Evansville Head Volleyball Coach Zach Weinberg has announced the hiring of Drew Davis as Assistant Coach for the Purple Aces. Davis brings a wealth of coaching experience from his time on the staffs at UTSA, North Dakota State, and Creighton.
Over the course of his career, Davis has coached seven 1st Team All-Conference members, two 1st Team Academic All-Americans, four All-Freshman Team players, a Freshman of the Year, two Setters of the Year, three AVCA All-North Region players, four All-Tournament Team honorees, and 12 CSC All-District student-athletes.
“Evansville Volleyball got better when Drew Davis decided to join the Aces family. His recruiting experience and training style in the gym will pay dividends immediately, and I'm excited to see what wrinkles and new training tactics he brings to our block and defense as our Defensive Coordinator,” Weinberg exclaimed. “Drew's energy, enthusiasm, and personality all make him an outstanding fit for UE Volleyball, and we're excited to have him here in the River City!”
Davis joins the UE program from UTSA where he served as the 1st Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator. He managed all phases of the recruiting process including scouting, outreach, and evaluation of potential recruits. On the floor, he oversaw development in serve receive, defense, and blocking. Davis analyzed game footage to provide insights and feedback to the coaching staff.
“I want to thank Zach Weinberg, Dr. ‘Ziggy’ Siegfried, the team, and the University of Evansville campus and athletic community for the opportunity to be a part of this program. I haven’t met a single person who hasn’t greeted me with a smiling face and a warm welcome and that was a huge reason why I chose to take this job,” Davis said. “I am extremely excited about the opportunity to work alongside Zach and Jordan to make a name for Evansville Volleyball as a perennial powerhouse in the region, the Missouri Valley Conference, and the nation. There are so many great aspects that make this place special and I’m thrilled to be a Purple Ace!”
Before joining the Roadrunners, Davis spent six years as Recruiting Coordinator and Assistant Coach at North Dakota State. He spearheaded all recruiting activities including planning scholarships, travel, phone calls, and managing the travel budget. Davis created and assisted in practice planning while directing all training for middles and OH/RSs. In 2022, NDSU advanced to the postseason, receiving an invitation to the NIVC.
He was extremely active in the campus and local communities as he coordinated youth camps for the program while taking care of scheduling, registration, camp store, social media, and campus tours. Davis engaged in fundraising activities and collaborated with the NDSU alumni network.
Davis started his coaching career at Creighton where he was the Social Media Coordinator and Volunteer Assistant Coach from 2017-2018. He oversaw all social media platforms associated with Creighton Volleyball while developing strategies to promote the team. He assisted in practice planning and drills, along with simulated opponents in practice. Along with those duties, he assisted in recruiting by maintaining updated club and high school schedules and results for recruits.
A 2017 graduate of Limestone (S.C.) University, Davis earned his Bachelor of Arts in Education with a Minor in Coaching. He was named to the Presidential Honor Roll in 2016 and 2017 while garnering Conference Carolinas Academic Honor Roll in both years with the program while serving as the Team Captain for the men’s volleyball squad. In 2017, his squad was ranked as high as 9th in the nation. His collegiate playing career started at Erskine (S.C.) College. In 2014, his team was the Conference Carolinas Regular Season and Tournament Champions while earning a berth in the NCAA Men’s Volleyball Championship. |

He is the fifth player in program history to earn All-Defensive Team recognition and the first since Mockevicius in 2016.
Tayshawn Comer became the first UE player since Shamar Givance in 2021 to be named to the All-Conference 2nd Team while also garnering All-Newcomer accolades. Comer led the Aces with his season average of 16.0 points per game and his total of 127 assists. Comer finished the year as the #2 scorer in conference games, scoring 18.5 PPG.
He recorded a career-high 27 points in the win over Murray State after setting his previous mark of 26 at Southern Illinois. His 22-point game at UIC put him over the 1,000-point mark in his collegiate career. Comer was named the MVC Player of the Week on Jan. 6 while picking up league Newcomer of the Week honors Feb. 24.
Finishing one of the best freshman seasons in program history, Gabriel Pozzato earned a spot on the All-Freshman Team. He wrapped up the regular season with an average of 15.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. Over the last five games, Pozzato has seen the floor for all 200 minutes.
