DeKALB — Redshirt senior linebacker Antonio Jones-Davis said he is looking forward to Saturday’s game because of a special connection. His cousin, Alex Davis, is one of the University of Nebraska’s senior linebackers.
Northern Star reporter James Krause spoke with Antonio about his cousin during an interview for the Northern Star’s Red-Black football podcast.
“Growing up we were always really close,” Antonio said. “I’d see him every weekend, and we’d play basketball or video games. Whenever we go home we get together and train, just like when we were kids.”
The pair has never played on a team together.
