Luther Davis, a former defensive tackle for the University of Alabama, entered a guilty plea in federal court in Atlanta for defrauding investors of nearly $20 million. Along with his accomplice CJ Evins, Davis was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. The duo executed a scheme in 2024 where Davis impersonated three NFL players—Michael Penix Jr. of the Atlanta Falcons, David Njoku of the Cleveland Browns, and Xavier McKinney of the Green Bay Packers—using disguises including makeup, wigs, and do-rag-style head coverings during video calls with investors. Prosecutors revealed that the players had not authorized any loans taken out in their names. The fraudulent scheme resulted in at least 13 loans, which Davis and Evins used to purchase real estate, jewelry, and cars. Davis was previously a national champion with the Crimson Tide in 2010.
