Davis announced on his social media last Friday that he was entering the transfer portal as a graduate transfer with one year of eligibility left.
Davis, a former four-star prospect according to 247sports, faced previous accusations of domestic violence in 2021 that led to Kansas University terminating its recruitment of Davis after he committed to play for them, according to the Dallas Morning News. He played for Jackson State University, Texas Southern University and Southern during his college career.
WBRZ reached out to the woman who posted the video, the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office and the Tulsa Police Department but has not received a response.
