A 22-year-old former college football player was arrested in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday, April 12, and taken to the local jail. Quaydarius Davis, who used to play for Southern University’s team, is accused of breaking into a home and attacking a woman. Police charged him with first-degree burglary, domestic abuse, and battery by strangulation.
The case gained attention after a video was shared online showing Davis with his (now) ex-girlfriend, Ja’Yunna Monae, who claims he choked her until she fainted. Authorities are investigating these allegations.
Ja’Yunna Monae, Davis’ ex-girlfriend, posted on Instagram and Twitter regarding the incident yesterday:
Davis was removed from Southern University’s football team in October 2024 for breaking team policies, though the school hasn’t shared details about what rules he violated. A spokesperson confirmed he is no longer part of the athletics program.
Earlier in the week, Davis posted on Instagram that he planned to transfer to another school for his final year of college football eligibility.
