After missing the 2020-21 season, Davis returned for her senior season in 2021-22 and once again started in all 34 of the Crimson Tide's games and led the team with 33.7 minutes per game. She led the Crimson Tide with 17.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game, and recorded 18.7 points and 6.9 rebounds per game in SEC play. She finished the season as the SEC leader in 3-pointers made (93) as well as 3-pointers per game (2.74).

In the 2022-23 season, Davis finished ranked fourth in the SEC in points per game, averaging 17.8 on the season. She also tied for ninth in the conference in rebounds per game, averaging 7.0. In Alabama's first-round loss to Baylor in the NCAA Tournament, Davis tied a career high and a Crimson Tide tournament record with 33 points.
