After shocking Washington fans by announcing his decision to enter the transfer portal, running back Cameron Davis has found a new home. Following six seasons on Montlake, the former four-star recruit will spend his final season in the Big Ten playing for coach PJ Fleck and the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
In his final season in Seattle, Davis took 44 carries for 190 yards, adding 14 catches for 156 yards, but was unable to find the end zone. He finished his Husky career with 253 carries for 1,093 yards and 15 touchdowns and accrued an additional 434 yards on 52 receptions. Now, he will join what has quickly become a very crowded running backs room.
After a stellar sophomore season that saw him total 1,206 yards and 11 touchdowns, Darius Taylor is expected to lead the way for the Golden Gophers in 2025. He’ll be aided by Marshall transfer AJ Turner, who was named to the All-Sun Belt Second Team after tallying 864 yards and 6 touchdowns in 2024.
Shortly after Davis committed, Fleck earned a third commitment from a transfer back when former four-star recruit Cole Cabana announced his intentions to attend Minnesota. Cabana had taken just two carries for 6 yards in his three seasons at Michigan, but offers promising potential.
Without Davis, Washington is expected to lean heavily on Jonah Coleman, who announced his intentions to return for his senior season on Thanksgiving, and sophomore Adam Mohammed in 2025.
