Quaydarius Davis, who most recently played football at Southern, is at the center of a domestic violence incident after a video allegedly showing him assaulting his ex-girlfriend surfaced online.
The footage, reportedly captured by a doorbell camera and posted by Rain Drops Media on Saturday, appears to show Davis choking the woman until she lost consciousness.
The victim alleged she was assaulted after ending the relationship between the two.
Davis, 22, was arrested in Tulsa, Oklahoma on complaints of first-degree burglary and domestic abuse and battery by strangulation.
She confirmed the authenticity of the footage in a series of social media posts, stating that neighbors’ security cameras captured the assault.
She detailed that Davis choked her to the point of unconsciousness and that she sustained bruising and soreness around her neck. The woman also revealed she had been hospitalized but expressed gratitude for surviving the ordeal.
In a social media statement, she wrote: “Domestic violence is never OK. This man choked me until I passed out and peed on myself. He kicked my door down, punched me numerous times—all because I didn’t want to be with him anymore.”
She has reportedly since filed a police report and announced her intention to press charges.
This is not Davis’s first brush with allegations of violence. In 2021, while committed to the University of Kansas as a four-star recruit out of Skyline High School in Dallas, Texas, he was accused of assaulting a woman he lived with, the Dallas Morning News reported.
Although he avoided formal charges by accepting a plea deal that included fines and mandatory domestic violence prevention classes, Kansas dismissed him from its football program after another woman accused him of assault. He later transferred to Jackson State University and eventually joined Southern University after stints at Florida A&M and Texas Southern.
Davis, who recently announced he was entering the transfer portal, has not publicly acknowledged the allegations since the video became public.
