Baltimore Lutheran graduate Jay Davis will compete for a starting cornerback spot at Brown this fall. Davis was a two-sport star at Lutheran, and also played for the 2011 lacrosse team that posted a 16-0 mark. The junior is the first player from the relatively young (2005) Lutheran football program to play at the Division I level.
The Bears open their season at home on September 21 against Georgetown. The Hoyas feature their own Maryland standout at corner, senior Rohan Williamson from Good Counsel.
