Former Penn State CB finds a landing spot out of the transfer portal

Former Penn State defensive back signs with a new college football team out of the transfer portal

Weeks after announcing he was entering the transfer portal, former Penn State cornerback [autotag]Jeffrey Davis[/autotag] has signed on with his new school. Davis has committed to Stony Brook, and the school officially announced his signing on Thursday afternoon.

“Let’s do this! Time to work,” Davis said in reply on his Twitter account after his signing was officially announced.

Davis will have three seasons of eligibility at his disposal with Stony Brook. The redshirt freshman appeared in just one game for Penn State in 2022. Davis was a three-star recruit in Penn State’s Class of 2021, and playing time in the defensive backfield was looking increasingly difficult to find with so many options in play for Penn State.

Penn State also just added a transfer defensive back from North Carolina with this week’s commitment from Storm Duck.

Davis announced he was entering the transfer portal on Dec. 5. He also announced he received an offer from Long Island University since entering the transfer portal. Stony Brook was quick to extend an offer after Davis entered the transfer portal. Albany also had an offer.

Stony Brook is coming off a 2-9 season and will be looking for its first winning season since 2018 when the 2023 season rolls around. Here’s hoping Davis will be a part of some winning moments for the Seawolves.

Every College Football Hall of Fame member for Clemson

Dating back to 1954, eight former Clemson players or coaches have received the honor of being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

Founded in 1951 by the National Football Foundation, the College Football Hall of Fame is highly selective in its induction process, with less than 1,300 people receiving the honor.

While Clemson will undoubtedly have future inductees because of its success over the past decade, eight members who coached or played at Clemson have already been inducted, one of which earned the honor in 2021.

Clemson has a chance to produce its ninth member in the coming years, as former linebacker Levon Kirkland is on the 2023 ballot. Earning All-American honors three times in college, Kirkland finished with 273 career tackles (40 for loss) and 19 career sacks.

Fans will have to wait until next year to see if Kirkland makes the cut, but here are Clemson’s current eight College Football Hall of Fame members in order by the year they were inducted.
