BIRMINGHAM, Ala.- The Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) announced the student-athletes set to participate in the league's annual SWAC Football Media Day on Thursday, July 21 at 10:00 am CST at the Sheraton-Birmingham.

Joining first-year Alabama State Head Eddie Robinson, Jr., will be quarterback Dematrius Davis and defensive back Irshaad Davis.

Dematrius Davis transferred to Alabama State after earning a redshirt in 2021 at Auburn University. Before, Davis, who was an outstanding dual-threat quarterback at North Shore High School, led the Mustangs to a pair of Texas state titles and a runner-up finish before signing with Auburn. ESPN rated him the No. 4 dual-threat recruit nationally and a top 12 player at his position nationally by Rivals, 24/7, and PrepStar.

Irshaad Davis posted a team-high 67 tackles (13th SWAC), 40 solo stops, on the way to garnering Second-Team All-SWAC honors in 2021. Davis tied for third in the SWAC with three interceptions while posting six tackles for loss and two sacks. The Carol City, Fla., product posted a season-high 11 tackles against Prairie View A&M and had nine stops at Arkansas-Pine Bluff. His interceptions came against Bethune Cookman, Texas Southern, and Tuskegee.
ESPN College football analysts Tiffany Greene and Jay Walker will host the event which is set to be carried live on ESPN3.
