Davis is majoring in accounting with a minor in communications and is involved in multiple campus organizations, including the Kappa Sigma Fraternity and the Finance Club.

Hernandez, a distance runner from Broussard, Louisiana, showcased his dedication with a school-record time of 32:07.12 in the 10,000 meters at the outdoor championships, winning the race and earning All-SAA First Team honors.
