Ex-Alabama Player Luther Davis Pleads Guilty to NFL Impersonation Fraud Scheme
Luther Davis, a former defensive tackle for Alabama, has pleaded guilty to charges of federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Davis, along with his co-conspirator CJ Evins, orchestrated a scheme where they impersonated NFL players to secure nearly $20 million in fraudulent loans. The duo used fake documents, wigs, and makeup to deceive lenders, using the funds to pay off other loans and finance a lavish lifestyle. The fraudulent activities took place between May 2023 and October 2024. Both Davis and Evins face up to seven years in prison, although prosecutors have recommended lighter sentences as part of a plea deal.
