Another Texas high school football standout loses eligibility battle
Frenship Memorial junior running back Bo Davis has been ruled ineligible for the 2026 season by UIL, marking the third Texas player to his lose eligibility battle this season.
Frenship football player Bo Davis faces an eligibility battle for the 2026 season after transferring from Lubbock High to Memorial. Bo, a star running back who rushed for 1,349 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2025, earned the Avalanche-Journal's 2025 big-school football newcomer award. However, the UIL State Executive Committee could not reach a decision, resulting in a 2-2 vote.
The District 2-5A Division I Executive Committee had previously ruled against his eligibility, citing that the transfer was for athletic purposes, which is against the UIL rule. Bo will be ineligible to play varsity football for the Panthers in the upcoming 2026 season. This is the first season of varsity football for Frenship. Other notable Texas football players, including Georgia commit and five-star quarterback Colton Nussmeier and five-star cornerback John Meredith III, have also lost their eligibility cases with the UIL this summer.
Nussmeier has transferred to Archbishop Rummel in Metairie, Louisiana, while Meredith reclassified and will play for Texas in college football this season.
