UF defensive tackle Torrey Davis cited for possession of alcohol

[FloridaGatorforLife]

GAINESVILLE - Florida defensive tackle Torrey Davis has a Feb. 7 court date after being cited Jan. 19 for possession of an alcoholic beverage by a minor, a misdemeanor.

Davis, 19, was spotted by Gainesville police holding a run and coke drink outside Venue, a nightclub on West University Avenue. The drink was identified by sight and smell, and Davis admitted to its contents when approached by police, according to police reports.

GPD officers cited at least 10 under-age drinkers in downtown Gainesville on the 19th.

Davis played 11 of 13 games last year as a true freshman, missing only contests with Mississippi and Florida Atlantic. He finished the season with eight tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble.

Davis could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

And I thought only UGA had alcohol related problems, I hope it is a learning experience for him. I hate to see these guys get into trouble but it is nothing that most college students do but athletes need to be careful

There's there any Defensive player in the team with a brain?

Hate to see players do stupid stuff like this. And yes it does happen all over colleges and mostly athletes are the only ones that get in major trouble for it. But I hope Meyer punishes him during the off season and he doesn't miss any games next season. Although missing the first game wouldn't matter that much. Meyer needs to make an example of one of these kids or else they will KEEP doing stupid chit like this.:hammer:

Stoooopid move.....dang it, it looks like every team in the SEC is going to continue to have off the field problems this year......hope Coach M gets a hand on it....

Yes everyone in college drinks. I'm sure there are thousands of kids under 21 drinking in downtown Gville everynight. But athletes need to be more careful. They are targeted everywhere they go.

Stupid thing to have happen. I hope Urban Meyer's punishment is strict enough that this kid doesn't do something worse in the future.

One thing I have learned is that Coach loves his boys and correction will be administered. If I were a betting man I would bet it won't happen again.

At least not in public. If these kids have to drink, then do it in your dorm!

Oh my gosh! By the start of next season, every SEC team will have someone penalized due to some violation! Tenn lost their kicker for the first half of the season, LSU's Qb is in trouble. Gamecock news went out this morning all over USC that their WR (Dion Lecorn) had possession of marijuana, and on top of that we got a gator that's in trouble. Atheletes must be careful and one simple soulution is just not to drink or take drugs!

its no big deal, he admitted to it when asked, and im sure he will be more careful next time!

Based on what I've read and contrary to a lot of rumors saying otherwise, Torrey Davis is still part of the team, and according to reports is going to class and staying out of trouble. Coach Meyer must have have sat him down for a one-on-one session and told Davis to be on his guard and live right.

We had too many episodes of misbehavior from our guys this past season, but compared to the rest of the SEC this year they're keeping their noses clean so far - and I hope it stays this way.
