Pittsburgh running back AJ Davis commits to FAMU

Davis joins the Rattlers as a grad transfer with one year of eligibility remaining.

In four years with the Panthers, the four-star back played in 32 games recording 1,301 yards from scrimmage, including 970 rushing yards and tallying  six touchdowns.

In October 2021, Davis entered the transfer portal. He initially committed to James Madison in June only to re-enter the transfer portal earlier in July

He received offers from a number of top FBS programs including Texas, Georgia, Florida State, Oklahoma, Michigan, LSU, Maryland, Nebraska and Florida among others. In the end, Davis ended up signing with Pitt.
