NORMAL , Ill.- Redbird Football quarterback Brady Davis has announced that he will not be participating in the upcoming spring season to prepare for the NFL draft.

Davis started 21 games over two seasons for the Redbirds after transferring from Memphis. In 2018 he was named to the Missouri Valley Football Conference All-Newcomer Team.
