AUBURN — Another South Florida Bull is coming to the Plains, as running back Nykahi Davenport signed with Auburn football on Monday, Jan. 5.
Davenport reposted initial reports of the news on his personal social media, confirming the signing. He’s one of six transfers either committed or signed to the Tigers, five of which played for Alex Golesh at South Florida. A rising sophomore, Davenport is Auburn‘s highest-rated transfer signee to this point, and he’ll have three years of eligibility remaining.
A former three-star recruit, Davenport played in 11 games as a true freshman at South Florida, and he was the Bulls‘ second-leading rusher behind quarterback Byrum Brown. He posted 612 rushing yards and averaged 6.2 yards per carry. He also scored seven touchdowns.
