"Davis and Evins used the identities of three NFL players -- 'D.N.,' 'X.M.' and 'M.P.' -- to apply for the loans. The Guardian identified D.N., X.M. and M.P. as Njoku, McKinney and Penix, respectively."
"To convince lenders they were the three players, the court documents allege that Davis and Evins created 'fabricated personal financial statements, Secretary of State documents, and bank statements for companies purportedly operated by the players.'"
"Davis would show up 'dressed in disguise and impersonated the players' at the loan closings, including using fake driver's licenses to fool the lenders."
Luther Davis, a former Alabama football player, is charged with wire fraud and identity theft for impersonating NFL players to obtain loans. From May 2023 to October 2024, he allegedly used wigs and fake driver's licenses to pose as Michael Penix Jr., David Njoku, and Xavier McKinney. None of the players authorized the loans, and fake email accounts were created. Davis and his partner, CJ Evins, fabricated financial documents and impersonated the players at loan closings to deceive lenders.
