Roster Addition - John Davis

[BillySee58]

Pretty interesting pickup here that has really flown under the radar. Davis was listed in the 2-deep this week behind Cam Johnson and saw some action this past Saturday.

Davis is a transfer from Texas Tech, and former Euless Trinity Trojan, who was recently added to our roster. Below is his recruiting profile from when he signed with Texas Tech out of high school. Was primarily a special teams player at Tech but this is another P5 transfer for those asking for more of those. 4th P5 Transfer since this summer with the others being QB Amani Gilmore from Kentucky, DB Jordan Rucker from Purdue, and OL Jacob Farrell from OK State.

Yes I noticed him when I was looking at the defensive two deep and saw what looked like four walk ons playing.  Any idea if he is on scholarship?

Saw that #8 out there Saturday but didn’t know who it was.

He jumped into the portal on August 20th, and is immediately eligible to play here?  Did he graduate from Tech?   
I'm confused on how guys like Davis and Rucker are able to play immediately, but guys like Farrell & Gilmore aren't.  I thought the appeal process was done away with?

I never even saw anything that suggested he came here... hmm weird
