Sporting Kansas City midfielder Jake Davis was announced today as the club’s newest ambassador for the Blue KC Sporting Samaritan program.
Davis joins former Sporting KC and U.S. Men’s National Team defender and 2025 Sporting Legends inductee Matt Besler as an ambassador for the initiative, which began in 2016 to highlight local students and teachers who make Kansas City a better place to live, work and play.
A Sporting KC Academy product, Davis debuted for the club as a 19-year-old in 2021 and has since tallied three goals and 11 assists in 84 matches across all competitions. Davis was voted the team’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2023 and the team’s Most Valuable Player in 2024 when he was also selected to join the U.S. Olympic team for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
