It has come to the attention of GoPowercat staff today that Xavier Davis will not be joining the K-State football program after all.
Working through limited connections, details surrounding this ongoing situation are vague. What is clear though is that K-State recently notified Davis of its decision to part ways based on specific information uncovered regarding a prior off the field incident which involved the junior college recruit.
A 6-foot-6, 250-pound three-star defender, Davis committed to K-State in December over Oregon State, TCU, and Michigan State. While he could not be reached for comment on the issue, it's believed that there's no animosity on his end towards the staff, though mutual disappointment is likely now that his career won't continue in Manhattan as planned. A new destination for Davis has yet to be determined.
From an overall standpoint, I firmly doubt this move hurts the Wildcats in any way on the field. Davis has not participated in a game in over a year meaning that he likely would've needed a lot of time to get in playing shape and also learn the playbook (based on past recruits who had arrived with similar "time off" scenarios). Given young depth at the position with Reggie Walker, Kyle Ball, Bronson Massie, Wyatt Hubert, and Anthony Payne, defensive end remains secure for the future.
