Jurriente Davis, a Texas A&M transfer linebacker, has been offered a scholarship by Louisville. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound graduate student has one more year of eligibility.
Davis has played for four different programs and is looking for a final spot to play his senior year of college. He attended Hutchinson Community College for two years before registering with Middle Tennessee State in 2021 and transferred to Jackson State the following season. He transferred to Texas A&M prior of the 2023 season as a grad transfer, but only played in three games for the Aggies, allowing him to save his redshirt.
Davis had four tackles in Texas A&M’s first game versus New Mexico. The following week, he played without recording any stats against Miami. He finished the season with six tackles, including two against Louisiana-Monroe in week three.
Davis, a Greensboro, N.C. native, was a regular performer at Jackson State before joining the Aggies, amassing 58 tackles, including 7.5 for a loss and a sack. Davis was fourth on the team with 68 tackles, including 5.5 for a loss and three sacks in his one season with Middle Tennessee. With 41 tackles, including seven for a loss, three sacks, and an interception, he led Hutchinson Community College to a national championship and first-team All-American accolades.Jackson

No. 17 Louisville (12-2, 1-0 ACC) will face Duke (9-4, 1-1) in the KFC Yum! Center on Thursday night in the hopes of reaching a historic milestone. A win versus the Blue Devils would be the 1000th victory in program history.
UofL, which began play in the 1975-76 season, would be the 27th institution in history to reach the 1,000-win plateau, and only the fourth ACC program to do so.
The Cardinals will face a Duke club that, in many ways, mirrors itself.
“It’s a ball club with a lot of depth,” stated UofL head coach Jeff Walz. “They have four players scoring in double figures and a fifth scoring around eight points per game.” Very comparable to us in that there isn’t really somebody dropping 20 a night, but you have to guard everyone.”
Walz noted that the two teams’ scoring averages are only 1.3 points off, with a 1.1 point differential in scoring defense, and that “really, it’s a team, if you look at the stat sheet, very, very similar.”
Series History: This will be the 12th meeting between the two teams all-time, and the 10th as ACC conference adversaries. Louisville leads the all-time series 7-4, and they are 4-0 versus Duke when the games are played in Louisville. Duke won the game on New Year’s Day last season, but the Cardinals have won five of their previous six meetings with the Blue Devils dating back to the 2017-18 season.
UofL is coming off a two-game winning run. On New Year’s Eve, the Cardinals defeated Miami, 77-72, to begin league play with a win. Duke has won four straight games, including a home victory against Boston College on December 31.
