Trotwood-Madison grad Amari Davis is coming home.

Davis, a 6-foot-3 guard, committed Thursday night to Wright State after announcing earlier this week he was leaving the University of Missouri after one season.

Davis started 13 of 32 games last season for the Tigers, averaging 9.0 points per game.

He began his college career at Green Bay, where he averaged 15.9 points as a freshman and 17.2 points as a sophomore. He was the Horizon League Freshman of the Year.

Davis was the Division II state player of the year as a senior at Trotwood-Madison, averaging 30.1 points per game and leading the Rams to a state championship.
