Former Alabama Football Player Charged with Fraud for Impersonating NFL Stars
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 took place from May 2023 to October 2024, involving multiple lending agencies. Davis, along with his partner CJ Evins, used wigs, fake driver's licenses, and fabricated documents to convince lenders they were the NFL players. Plea hearings for Davis and Evins are scheduled for April 27, with Evins expected to plead guilty. The fraudulent activities included creating fake email accounts and registering companies under the players' names to facilitate the loans.
