What Is Marlon Davidson Jersey Number?
He wears the number 90. He previously wore 47 to honour his mom, Cynthia Carter who died at the age of 47 owing to a blood clot in her right leg that caused complications, leading to her death on February 23, 2015, at the age of 47.
According to Davidson’s aunt, Debra Moorer, the cause of death was the blood clot that was travelling to her heart rather than the fall that had been initially reported after she collapsed and injured her head while leaving an emergency care facility.
When his mother passed away, Davidson, a junior in high school, moved in with Moorer. His voice quivers as he muses about the tragedy.
“You know, I got picked 47th in the draft and wore No. 47 in high school because that was my mama’s age when she passed. That’s crazy, man. That’s powerful,” Davidson said. “Everything I do is for my lady. Everything I do, I do it for her,” he had said in a previous interview.
