Luther Davis, a former defensive tackle for the University of Alabama, is facing serious federal charges for allegedly posing as NFL players to defraud lenders out of nearly $20 million. Alongside co-conspirator CJ Evins, the two are accused of using wigs and makeup to impersonate players in a scheme that ran from May 2023 to October 2024. They obtained at least 13 loans by presenting fake identities during Zoom calls with lenders, utilizing stolen and fabricated driver’s licenses to mislead financial institutions. The fraudulent loans were funneled through a network of sham businesses controlled by Davis and Evins, who reportedly used the funds to buy real estate, vehicles, and jewelry. Notably, the scheme has drawn attention to lenders such as Aliya Sports Finance Fund and Sure Sports, which are now facing legal scrutiny for their roles in the fraudulent transactions. Davis, who played for Alabama from 2007 to 2010 and won a national championship, has a history of NCAA rule violations but has not faced criminal charges until now. He is scheduled for a plea hearing on April 27.
