Early life
The second youngest of seven siblings, Davis attended Wheaton Warrenville South High School in Wheaton, Illinois. As a sophomore, he was called up to varsity to play alongside his big brother Titus Davis, who went on to become the all-time leading receiver in touchdowns and yards from scrimmage for Central Michigan University. The duo were part of the Tigers 2010 perfect 14–0 Illinois Class 7A state championship team. As a senior, Corey finished the season with 45 receptions and six touchdowns. During his youth football years playing for the Wheaton Rams, Davis forged a close friendship with the son of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers player Dan Graham. At the end of his junior year, Davis decided to move out of his family's two-bedroom apartment and move in with the Graham family, and they would later become Davis' legal guardians. Davis did not receive any scholarships until late in his senior year.
