Bear Davis enters his first season as a Volunteer Assistant Coach for the Men's Lacrosse program during the 2025-26 academic year.
Davis will support Head Coach Brian Kingsbury, providing leadership in recruiting, program development, and alumni engagement as the Quakers continue to build momentum on and off the field.
For Davis, the role represents a meaningful return to his alma mater. A former student-athlete at Wilmington College, Davis has established himself as one of the game's most respected names. He is an Ohio Hall of Fame coach, a Major League Lacrosse Champion, and a proven program builder with more than two decades of experience at the collegiate, professional, and youth levels.
“This is truly a homecoming,” Davis shared. “Wilmington College has given me so much, and I am grateful for the opportunity to support Coach Kingsbury and these student-athletes as they work to take the program forward. There is so much positive energy here right now — from the incredible $23 million gift from Jerry Scheve to the College to the strong leadership across campus. It is a special time to be a Quaker.”
“Having someone of Bear’s caliber and experience to lean on is an incredible asset to our program,” Kingsbury said. “Bear’s perspective as a Wilmington alum and his track record of success at every level of lacrosse will only strengthen what we are building.”
The connection to Wilmington is also deeply personal for Davis. His son, Kaiden, is a freshman on the Quaker roster this season, carrying on the family tradition of wearing the green and white.
