He was one of the nation's top prospects on defense coming out of high school, but barely played during his days at 'Bama and Texas.
After playing only sparingly at Alabama and Texas, linebacker Ben Davis has the chance to show his potential as a captain of the XFL’s San Antonio Brahmas.Despite ranking as a consensus five-star prospect and the nation’s top inside linebacker in the 2016 class, Ben Davis spent six college seasons without starting a game.
Now with the XFL’s San Antonio Brahmas, Davis at last has a chance to show what he can do between the lines, earning the role of team captain and drawing praise from coaches and teammates as a potential standout. Brahmas coach Hines Ward said he told defensive players on the opening day of practice about the value of swarming to the ball and finishing repetitions, and Davis has stood out with as a leader with his effort through the whistle on every snap since. Ward credits that commitment to Davis’ time in the championship atmosphere at Alabama.
After redshirting in 2016, Davis played just 83 total snaps from 2017 through 2020, per Pro Football Focus. He was on the field for three snaps of the national championship game win against Ohio State in 2021 and was on hand for a title game win against Georgia in 2018, as well as losses to Clemson in 2017 and 2019.
