“Tae, Nijel and Xzayvier are three of the premier players in this portal cycle and we’re absolutely thrilled they chose to join the OU family,” Moser said in a statement on Tuesday. “They have combined for 291 games played and 230 starts against high-level competition, so they are battle-tested and will be great leaders from the moment they step foot on campus. They are cerebral, coachable players who bring definite scoring punch with over 3,500 career points among them.
“We can’t wait for them to get here and start working with our returning players and fellow newcomers.”
Davis is a 6-9, 215-pound forward who played the last two seasons with the Fighting Irish and his freshman year at Seton Hall. Pack, a 6’0, 185 pound guard, spent his first two seasons at Kansas State and the last three with the Hurricanes. The 6-2, 175-pound Brown played both of his seasons at Saint Joseph's.
Davis and Pack both have one season of eligibility remaining. Brown has two years left.
Davis started all 33 games for the Fighting Irish this past season. In those 33 games, the forward averaged 15.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. He shot 47.6% from the field and 30.2% from three point range.
Davis scored in double figures in 27 of 33 games and had eight performances of 20-plus points, including his career-high of 27 scored against Buffalo.
Pack is a career 14.3 points per game guard. In 2022, the guard was a first-team, All-Big 12 pick while at Kansas State and was the 2023 Midwest Region Most Valuable Player when he led the Hurricanes to the Final Four.
In the 2024-25 campaign, Pack was limited to nine games due to a foot injury. In those nine games, the guard averaged 13.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. He scored in double figures in seven of those nine games.
Brown comes to Norman on the heels of earning a first-team, All-Atlantic 10 bid as a sophomore. Brown ranked fourth in the conference with 17.6 points per game and also averaged 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.5 steals. Brown scored in double figures in all 32 games he played in.
A member of the 2025 Atlantic 10 All-Championship Team after averaging 22.3 points and 6.7 rebounds over three games, Brown shot 42.0% from the field on the year, .350 from 3-point range (63 makes) and 89.7% from the free throw line. He ranked second in the Atlantic 10 in both free throw percentage, which set a school single-season record, and conversions (148).
