Will Davis, a veteran coach with deep roots in college baseball, was appointed the ninth head coach of Houston Baseball on May 26, 2026, marking a new chapter for the program.
A Proven Track Record
His ten‑year tenure at Lamar University produced 289 wins, two consecutive 40‑win seasons, and a 2026 Southland Conference Tournament Championship, earning him Coach of the Year honors in 2024.
Earlier, Davis contributed to LSU’s 2009 College World Series title and helped the Tigers secure seven SEC championships, before moving into a leadership role that combined operational oversight with elite recruiting.
Off the field, Davis is a family man, married to Danielle Hall and a father of three, holding a bachelor's degree in secondary education and a master's in kinesiology from LSU, a combination that informs his holistic approach to player development.
The appointment signals Houston Baseball’s intent to leverage Davis’s championship experience and his history of producing MLB‑ready talent, a factor that has already attracted attention from prospects such as Alex Bregman and Aaron Nola, who have praised his mentorship.
