Davison made the announcement on his Instagram account on Wednesday morning.
The NCAA didnât count the 2020-21 season against playersâ eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic, giving Davison and UWâs six other seniors a chance to return for another campaign.
Davison is the only one to do so, with Trevor Anderson (Valparaiso) and Walt McGrory (South Dakota) electing to transfer elsewhere and Nate Reuvers, Micah Potter, DâMitrik Trice and Aleem Ford deciding to begin their professional careers.
Davison is one of four players in program history to play at least 4,000 minutes, a group that also includes Josh Gasser, Nigel Hayes, Alando Tucker, Ethan Happ, DâMitrik Trice, Bronson Koenig and Mike Wilkinson.
