PROVO, Utah – BYU football running back Miles Davis is entering the NCAA Transfer Portal.
The 6-foot-0, 215-pound ball carrier entered as a graduate transfer. Players who have already earned their undergraduate degrees can officially enter the portal, and all who haven’t earned their undergraduate degrees can enter on Monday, December 9.
On3 first reported that Davis entered the Transfer Portal. KSL Sports has since confirmed.
Miles Davis started one game during the 2024 season
Davis appeared in eight games during the 2024 season with one start.
The Las Vegas native rushed for 76 yards on 18 carries in 2024.
After starter LJ Martin and second-string Hinckley Ropati suffered injuries against SMU in week two, Davis earned the start at running back against Wyoming in week three. He had eight carries for 15 yards and one reception for 10 yards.
Davis only received two carries for the remainder of the season.
In BYU’s win at SMU, Davis had a clutch 37-yard run on an option pitch in the fourth quarter that helped set up a game-winning field goal from Will Ferrin.
Second appearance in the Transfer Portal
During the 2024 transfer portal cycle, Davis had a brief stay before deciding to return to BYU after Aidan Robbins declared for the NFL Draft.
BYU offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick said last spring that Davis was set to be “more than a role player.”
