TUSCALOOSA, Ala.- Alabama head coach Patrick Murphy announced the signing of Keima Davis to a National Letter of Intent. Davis will join the Tide from Deerfield Beach, Fla. where she currently plays at American Heritage Boca/Delray School.

"Keima is the latest in a long line of tremendous student-athletes from the state of Florida who decided to continue their softball careers at Alabama," coach Murphy said.
