Ray Davis will go down as one of Vanderbilt’s all-time greatest running backs. He finished the 2022 season with 1,042 rushing yards, good enough for ninth-most in school history. The San Francisco native cracked an All-SEC Team and was even named a semifinalist for Comeback Player of the Year (he missed nine games in 2021 due to a knee injury). And oh yeah, he ran for 129 yards and a touchdown against Kentucky in what was Vanderbilt’s first win against the Wildcats since 2015.
But now, the roles for Davis are reversed. He transferred to UK for his final year of college eligibility and will go up against his old team on Saturday afternoon in front of a fanbase where he did things like run for 167 yards and a touchdown against South Carolina, or rattled off 122 yards against the Florida Gators.
