Davidson originally joined Tech as an offensive quality control coach in 2018 and spent the 2020 campaign as assistant director of player personnel. The Katy, Texas native has been instrumental in helping the Hokies land numerous talented players from across the country. During his stint as a quality control coach for the Hokies, he worked closely with Vance Vice and Tech's offensive line unit. He joined Tech after spending the 2017 season as defensive coordinator at Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas. 
 
He spent the 2010-16 campaigns in the Texas high school coaching ranks, working in a variety of coaching roles across the state, in addition to teaching chemistry and special education classes. In 2009, he served as defensive line coach at Northeastern State University where current Tech offensive coordinator Brad Cornelsenwas the offensive coordinator at the time. Davidson's resume also includes a stint at Trinity Valley Community College in 2008 after serving as a graduate assistant at his alma mater of North Texas in 2007. A three-year letterman at North Texas, Davidson played tight end and served as a long snapper for the Mean Green.

Awesome news, the Davidsons are a great Mean Green family.

Beau's grandfather Merle was actually the first person with whom I ever talked about Mean Green football. He ran the AJ Foyt Chevrolet dealership in Houston and had his son Greg's Houston Oilers and North Texas (Flying Worm) helmets on display in his office. Greg had played his Mean Green collegiate career under Hayden Fry and his pro career under Bum Phillips and his proud father was always willing to brag about him and share stories.

Merle passed in 2015 after a lengthy career as the Rolls Royce distributor for Houston, but it's great to read his continuing family legacy as his grandson Beau advances in his career.
