Texas lands Alabama LB transfer Ben Davis
Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports In a decision months in the works, the Texas Longhorns officially landed a commitment from former Alabama Crimson Tide linebacker Ben Davis on Monday.
The 6’4, 250-pounder entered the NCAA transfer portal in February following his redshirt senior season with the Crimson Tide and was mentioned in connection with the Longhorns for nearly two months before making his announcement.
Davis was the No. 10 prospect nationally and the No. 1 inside linebacker, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, when he was recruited by current Texas defensive line coach Bo Davis out of Gordo in Alabama as a member of the 2016 recruiting class.
