Former Florida Atlantic standout guard Johnell Davis has made a big commitment to the Arkansas basketball program. Considered one of the top players in the transfer portal, Davis brings a wealth of talent and experience to the Razorbacks.
While Davis is still in the process of exploring his NBA draft options with several team workouts scheduled, he has already proven himself on the court. Last year, he dipped his toes into the NBA draft waters by participating in the G League Elite Camp. Davis is coming off a stellar season at Florida Atlantic, where he posted career highs in points, rebounds, and assists.
His impressive performance on the court did not go unnoticed, as Davis was awarded AAC Player of the Year honors for his contributions to FAU’s success. Notably, he played a crucial role in leading FAU to significant victories, including a notable win over Arizona. In addition, Davis was a key player on FAU’s Final Four team during the 2022-23 season.
With the departure of all five starters from the Florida Atlantic team due to transfers or graduation, Davis saw an opportunity to make an impact at Arkansas under head coach John Calipari. Calipari has been actively recruiting top talent to rebuild the roster, and Davis is a key addition alongside other standout recruits like Jonas Aidoo and Zvonimir Ivisic.
Overall, Davis’ commitment to Arkansas is a significant development for both the player and the program, and fans can expect great things from this promising guard in the upcoming season. Stay tuned to see how Davis continues to make his mark on the court with the Razorbacks.
