Jett Lawrence Heartfelt Message To Cole Davis As He is Named Rookie Of The Year.

In a season filled with fierce competition and unforgettable moments, one of the most poignant came off the track. Cole Davis, the promising young rider who was forced to exit the 250SX West class of the AMA Supercross Championship due to injury, has officially been named Rookie of the Year — a recognition that brought both celebration and reflection across the motocross community.

The 19-year-old Davis showed flashes of brilliance throughout the season, impressing fans and fellow riders alike with his raw speed, composure under pressure, and a racing instinct that seemed well beyond his years. Unfortunately, his rookie campaign was cut short after a devastating crash sidelined him just as momentum was building.

Yet, even in absence, Davis’s performance had left such a mark that the AMA honored him with the Rookie of the Year title — a testament to his potential and spirit.

Among those moved by the announcement was none other than reigning champion Jett Lawrence, who took a moment to send an emotional tribute to Davis.

“Cole is the real deal,” Lawrence said. “From the first gate drop, you could see he had that fire. That natural feel for the bike — it’s rare. He reminds me of myself when I was just getting started in the class.”

Lawrence, known for his own rapid rise and unfiltered honesty, didn’t hold back his admiration for Davis.

“I’m proud of him. Even though he couldn’t finish the season the way he deserved to, what he showed was enough to prove he belongs here. Rookie of the Year? He earned that — no doubt in my mind.”

Jett also reflected on the unfortunate circumstances that ended Davis’s season prematurely.

“It’s heartbreaking, honestly,” he added. “No rider wants to go out like that. But Cole’s got time, and more importantly, he’s got talent. He’ll bounce back stronger. We’ll see him up front again — I’m sure of it.”

The camaraderie between riders in Supercross often shines brightest in moments like these. For Davis, who is currently focused on recovery, Lawrence’s words are a reminder that his efforts did not go unnoticed, and that the motocross world is eagerly awaiting his return.

As fans look ahead to next season, the story of Cole Davis — his grit, promise, and the brotherhood of the sport — adds another layer of meaning to the world of Supercross. The Rookie of the Year may be out for now, but his future in the sport is anything but uncertain.
