Alabama alum accused of impersonating NFL stars in $20M loan scam
Former Alabama football player Luther Davis allegedly impersonated NFL stars Michael Penix Jr., Xavier McKinney and David Njoku to obtain nearly $20 million in fraudulent loans, with CJ Evins also planning to plead guilty. The scheme involved fake Georgia-registered companies, forged IDs, and Davis even attending loan closings in disguise, ultimately securing about $11.6 million under the athletes’ identities; a civil case linked to one of the loans proceeds to trial in July 2026.
