The backup kicker for the Midshipmen helped beat East Carolina in double overtime.
Daniel fully believes Ricky was with him last week when Daniel made his debut as the team’s kicker and went 3 for 3 on field goals, including a 29-yarder in double overtime to give the Midshipmen a 23-20 victory over East Carolina for their first win of the season. On the way to the game, Davies was listening to Spotify on shuffle when the song “Closer” by the Chainsmokers came on. The song was released in 2016 and their father, Michael, said the song reminded him of Ricky.
Davies had to wait until his senior year to kick a field goal in a game because fellow kicker Bijan Nichols was part of his freshman class. Nichols has been the No. 1 kicker since his freshman year, is second on Navy’s career field goal list, was named second team all-conference in 2021 and was voted a captain in 2022. A leg injury, however, has sidelined Nichols this season.
Eric and Daniel text daily, but Daniel called after the bye week with some news — he would be the starting kicker against East Carolina. He added not to tell their parents. The family is used to seeing Daniel punting, but seeing him on TV kicking field goals in overtime just hit differently. The realization that Daniel had just kicked field goals for Navy didn’t hit Eric until after the game despite the phone call.“It’s like, ‘Dude you better not miss this,’ ” Eric said with a laugh.
