Former Florida Atlantic star Johnell Davis, a pillar for the program's 2022-23 Final Four team and the reigning AAC Player of the Year, has committed to John Calipari and Arkansas, he announced on social media Wednesday.
Davis, who was considered to be one of the best players in college basketball to enter the transfer portal, posted career highs in points (18.2), rebounds (6.3), assists (2.9) and three-point field goal percentage (41.4%) in 34 starts for the Owls last season.
Davis' official departure from the program after declaring for the NBA draft, while also entering the transfer portal last month, now puts FAU in a position of total overhaul heading into next season. The Owls lost coach Dusty May to Michigan, and now all five starters have been lost to either the transfer portal or graduation.
