Cincinnati

The Bearcats are fresh off a berth in the College Football Playoff and with their move to the Big 12 just around the corner, Cincinnati has a really strong chance to build another good recruiting class.

Cincinnati was off to a solid start going into the month of June with eight verbal commitments, however, the Bearcats have as much momentum as anyone in college football recruiting right now with nine verbal pledges this month, including four-star safety Daeh McCullough. They also have the fourth-ranked recruiting class right now in 2023 according to the 247 team rankings.

McCullough was the biggest name to come on board in the 2023 class for the Bearcats this past weekend but seven of the other eight ranked in the top 1,000 of the 247 sports composite rankings and only one ranked lower than a three-star.

Ayden Greene (433rd overall) should remind Cincinnati fans of Alec Pierce, while Luke Evans is a top-500 cornerback that just committed. Add in Brady Drogosh, a three-star QB (ranked 11th in the state of Michigan, 491 overall), and Luke Fickell’s team is off to a strong start this summer.
