Talented Tide freshman may be ineligible for season opener

There were concerns when defensive lineman Raekwon Davis signed with Alabama that his ACT scores may have been low enough to put his academic eligibility in doubt for the beginning of the season. The fear was so great that Davis initially enrolled in a junior college as well as Alabama, but then in April reports were that his scores were fine. Now however things seem to have changed for Davis.

When talking to the media Thursday Saban updated the situation.

It sounds like the NCAA has yet to make a decision so the Tide may be without the freshman against USC. Davis has been a star of camp drawing much attention for his immense size and strength. Hopefully he will be cleared to play or Bama may be without two lineman when they go up against Southern Cal.
