Kalia Davis
Born and raised in Pensacola, Florida and attending the University of Central Florida (UCF) for college makes me a Floridian through and through.
I started playing football as a young kid who would have to sweat out water before games just to be a low enough weight to play running back in little league.
Clearly, I kept getting bigger.
At West Florida High School, I proved to be a force at the linebacker position turning into a local household name. In fact, I was recruited to UCF as a linebacker.
However, I got even bigger.
At 6'2" and 300 pounds, I may not be a running back anymore (unless you want me there, coach!) but, the SF 49ers took a chance on me and I have found my home on the defensive line as an agile, quick, and disruptive tackle.

THE GOAL?
To lead by example and use social media to form real, meaningful connections between athletes and the fans cheering them on.
Taking care of yourself is just as much mental as it is physical.
​
I remember sitting in a hot tub and scrolling through Twitter while on a weekend trip with my girlfriend's family. At one point, I saw brutal tweets about another college football player and, in that moment, I looked up and said:
"Wow. That could be me".
​
Being constantly exposed to that level of criticism can take a real mental toll and many athletes feel the pressure.
For so many people watching the games, we are no more than a number they watch run around a screen once a week. I wanted to reach out through platforms like Twitch or Youtube to form connections with the fans and support kids who are battling through similar challenges.
​
I intend to use my platforms as a way to build a bridge between the field and the stands.
