Arrested on suspicion of DUI Davis (achilles) was arrested Thursday morning on suspicion of a DUI, per On3.com.

Impact Davis crashed his car in Provo early Thursday morning, and was subsequently arrested for an alleged DUI. It's unclear what kind of punishment he could be facing, but BYU's student honor code is notoriously unforgiving in regards to student athletes, and the school may issue its open lengthy suspension. Davis is also dealing with an achilles injury that held him out of the Cougars' win over Delaware.

Dealing with Achilles soreness Davis didn't play Tuesday against Delaware due to Achilles soreness, Mitch Harper of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Davis had started the first two games of the season for BYU, but the Achilles problem prevented him from playing in this contest. The junior guard will aim to play against UConn on Saturday, Nov. 15, but his recovery in the coming days will be pivotal in determining whether he'll be ready to return to action.

Creating buzz in preseason Davis is turning heads in preseason practice, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact The Southern Illinois transfer could start for the Cougars and projects as a crucial glue guy ahead of the 2025-2026 campaign. Last year with Southern Illinois, the 6-foot-6 guard averaged 16.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals on 46/38/76 shooting splits. He's reportedly displayed his elite perimeter defense and a penchant for coming down with contested rebounds. Look for Davis to be an important part of a star-studded BYU team this season.

Could push to start in Provo Davis could push for a spot in BYU's starting five in 2025-2026, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact The Southern Illinois transfer has reportedly made a strong impression early for the Cougars. He's strong defensively and has a nice touch from long range as well. Last season, Davis averaged 16.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals on 46/38/76 shooting splits. If he does indeed push for a starting role, it would likely be at the wing or the two guard spot.

Impact Davis broke out in his sophomore season with Southern Illinois, averaging 16.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals. With two seasons of eligibility remaining, the 6-foot-6 guard should have plenty of interest from high-major programs.
