4-star WR Quay Davis no longer part of Kansas' 2021 class after domestic violence accusation

Nick Bromberg
·2-min read

Quay Davis will not be a member of Kansas' football team.

Kansas said Friday that it would not have Davis as a part of its 2021 class after an accusation of domestic violence became public on social media earlier in the week. Kansas said Thursday that it was gathering information about the accusation and made the decision on Friday to revoke his offer.

“Yesterday, after the allegations referencing a football recruit were brought to our attention, we immediately contacted individuals with knowledge on the matter to try and learn more about what happened," Kansas said in a statement. "Based on the information we were able to gather KU football has terminated the recruitment of this individual and communicated to him that he will no longer be recruited to play football at the University of Kansas. While we do not know the full details of what occurred in this instance, we were able to learn enough information and decide that it is in the best interest of Kansas Football that we separate from this individual. We condemn violence of any kind against women."

The accusation against Davis was made public on Wednesday. The post — which you can view here — included pictures of a young woman's left eye swollen shut. Davis was identified in the post.

Davis was KU's top recruit

Davis was the only four-star recruit in Kansas' 2021 class. The Dallas native was ranked as the No. 36 prospect in the class of 2021 and signed with the Jayhawks in February after committing in January.

"I can be a star, I can change it around and I can be a legend," Davis told Rivals after he committed to Kansas. "They told me, 'Quay, you can be a legend,' and I feel comfortable with somebody like Coach Emmett [Jones], who coached at my school and I feel comfortable with. He's a great coach. He's gonna speak on my imperfections. He's not gonna tell me do this and do that. He's gonna give straight facts, the real, and I like to be told the real."

Jones is currently Kansas' interim coach after the school parted ways with Les Miles earlier this month. Miles' separation from Kansas came after accusations of inappropriate conduct with female students in his time at LSU became public.

The allegations also led to the departure of Kansas athletic director Jeff Long. He hired Miles and stepped down following Miles' firing.

    (Bloomberg) -- Global stocks hit all-time highs on Friday and U.S. futures were steady as record growth figures from China highlighted the strength of the recovery. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index was poised for a seventh week of advances, its longest streak since May 2018, as investors continued to boost cyclicals such as carmakers and banks, while defensive sectors lagged.

Treasuries held onto Thursday’s gain, with traders suggesting foreign buying and geopolitical risks may have contributed to the advance.Along with healthy corporate earnings, China’s first-quarter gross domestic product numbers are giving fresh impetus to the reflation trade. In the U.S., Thursday’s retail sales and weekly jobless claims data signaled an accelerating recovery in the world’s biggest economy. Investors will look for further confirmation as the reporting season picks up pace next week, with around 80 S&P 500 members and more than 50 Stoxx 600 firms announcing.“As the economic reopening accelerates in the coming months, we believe the bull market remains on a solid footing,” said Mark Haefele, chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management. “We maintain a cyclical bias and prefer U.S. consumer discretionary, energy, financials and industrials.”Elsewhere, copper remained on course for the best week in about two months.

  • Alan Smith column: In-form Christian Pulisic has pace to unsettle Manchester City in FA Cup clash

    Last week’s shock win for Marcelo Bielsa’s team may just have come at the right time for a Manchester City side still on course for a quadruple. If that imperious performance against Borussia Dortmund is anything to go by, the defeat to 10-man Leeds delivered a timely reminder of the dangers lurking when you take your eye off the ball for just a second. Thomas Tuchel can vouch for that, having seen his previously unbeaten Chelsea side concede five goals to West Brom.
