Luther Davis, a former Alabama Crimson Tide defensive lineman, is set to plead guilty in a $20 million fraud case. Davis, along with his partner CJ Evins, is accused of impersonating NFL players to secure fraudulent loans. The charges, filed in federal court in Atlanta, include conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Davis and Evins allegedly obtained 13 loans using the identities of current and former NFL players, such as Michael Penix Jr., David Njoku, and Xavier McKinney. The fraudulent activities reportedly took place between May 2023 and October 2024, involving lenders like Aliya Sports and All Pro Capital Funding. Davis, who owns a sports management company, used disguises and fake IDs to impersonate players during virtual loan closings.
