Hurricanes freshman cornerback Vernon Davis has requested to be released from his scholarship, The Miami Herald has learned, and is expected to transfer to another school as early as Tuesday afternoon.
A source said Davis, a former standout at Miami Coral Reef, let UM know of his intentions on Friday.
Reached by phone, Davis' mother confirmed her son was considering transferring from the program, but didn't want to elaborate on where he might be considering going.
"Nothing is official yet," Theodofia Davis said. "I'd prefer you talk to him about it."
Davis wasn't listed on the Canes' most recently released depth chart Monday, but remains on the team roster. He was one of eight incoming defensive backs the program signed between January and February.
A UM spokesman said that as of 10:30 a.m. Davis was still on the team. But obviously, things can change quickly.
A three-star recruit according to Rivals, ESPN and Scout.com, Davis was an All-Dade First Team selection by The Miami Herald as a senior.
