Former Alabama football player Luther Davis is facing multiple fraud charges after reportedly impersonating Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix and several other NFL players according to court documents obtained by AL.com. Davis, who owns a sports management company in Georgia, played for the Crimson Tide's 2009 national championship team and is expected to plead guilty in the $20 million case, which surfaced on Wednesday following an initial report by The Guardian.
According to court documents, Davis worked with someone named CJ Evins to obtain 13 loans in the names of current or former NFL players.
Penix was one of three players identified by The Guardian, along with former Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku and Green Bay Packers safety Xavier McKinney. McKinney was part of Alabama's 2017 signing class under Nick Saban.
Documents attest that Davis and his accomplice, "executed a scheme to fraudulently obtain millions of dollars in loans from multiple lenders … by impersonating football players and falsely claiming those players were seeking multi-million dollar loans."
The pair used fake IDs, wigs and makeup to disguise themselves as others during "virtual loan closings" in the names of players who had not given their consent. Davis allegedly used photos found online of the players and wore a "durag-style head covering" to impersonate Penix.
The fraudulent loans obtained totaled more than $19,845,000, per the criminal information document.

That dude had to be the biggest head case in the history of following recruiting, and that’s saying something.
