The Clemson police department did not immediately return a request for more information.

Dabo Swinney will speak at the ACC Kickoff Event later on Thursday and will be asked about the incident.

Davis appeared in 11 games last season, recording 13 tackles and two pass breakups in 183 snaps.

He is expected to provide depth at cornerback for the Tigers this season.

Davis signed with Clemson as a four-star recruit in the class of 2020. The 6-foot, 185 pound defensive back was rated as the No. 53 overall player and No. 7 cornerback in the nation, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
