Kentucky transfer running back Ray Davis was one of the better transfer portal pickups of the offseason and the tailback has been effective for the Wildcats so far in 2023. Davis’ story is far greater than that of just a useful transfer, though.

And while the play-by-play announcer Pete Sousa — on the call for Saturday’s Kentucky-Eastern Kentucky game via streaming on ESPN+/SEC Network+ — was likely just trying to make a reference to a notable part of Davis’ backstory and something he’s discussed before, the net effect left plenty of observers questioning the comment.
