“Evansville Volleyball got better when Drew Davis decided to join the Aces family,” said Head Coach Zach Weinberg. “His recruiting experience and training style will immediately benefit our team, especially in the areas of blocking and defense. Drew’s energy and enthusiasm make him a perfect fit for UE Volleyball, and we’re thrilled to have him on board.”
Davis most recently served as the 1st Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator at UTSA.

“I am grateful to Zach Weinberg, Dr. ‘Ziggy’ Siegfried, the team, and the entire Evansville community for this opportunity,” Davis said. “The welcoming environment here made this an easy decision for me. I’m excited to work alongside Zach and Jordan to elevate Evansville Volleyball to new heights in the Missouri Valley Conference and beyond.”
Before his time at UTSA, Davis spent six years as the Recruiting Coordinator and Assistant Coach at North Dakota State. There, he managed recruiting activities and played a key role in the team’s success, including their 2022 postseason appearance in the NIVC.
Davis started his coaching career at Creighton, where he served as the Social Media Coordinator and Volunteer Assistant Coach. He oversaw the team’s social media platforms and assisted with practice planning, drills, and recruiting.
A graduate of Limestone University in 2017, Davis holds a Bachelor of Arts in Education with a Minor in Coaching.
