Former Pitt running back A.J. Davis entered the transfer portal in October, and on Sunday, he revealed he would transfer to James Madison.
The former four-star recruit made the decision to leave Pitt after a six-game stretch during which he did not log a rush or reception. Davis seemed to fall out of favor with the Pitt staff this season, as Israel Abanikanda, Vincent Davis and Rodney Hammond formed a productive trio in Pitt’s backfield.
Davis was the clear No. 2 back in 2020, as he had 266 yards and one touchdown on 61 carries, which was down from 530 yards and four touchdowns in 2019.
