Former Alabama Player Charged with Fraud for Impersonating NFL Athletes to Secure Loans
Luther Davis, a former Alabama football player, is facing charges of wire fraud and identity theft. According to federal court records, Davis allegedly impersonated NFL players Michael Penix Jr., David Njoku, and Xavier McKinney to secure nearly $20 million in loans. The scheme reportedly involved the use of wigs, fake driver's licenses, and fabricated financial documents to convince lenders of his false identity. Davis, along with his partner CJ Evins, allegedly created fake companies and registered them under names similar to those of the players to facilitate the fraud. Plea hearings for both Davis and Evins are scheduled for April 27, with Evins expected to plead guilty.
