Cincinnati Football: 3-star receivers Ayden Greene and Ty Perkins pick Bearcats

Cincinnati continued to build on the potentially historic 2023 recruiting class with a pair of 3-star receiver additions in the last couple days. Ayden Greene and Ty Perkins recently announced verbal commitments as the Bearcats have climbed into the top-five classes per 247 Sports, trailing only Notre Dame, Texas Tech, Penn State and Ohio State.

During an official visit last weekend, Greene committed to Cincinnati over scholarship offers from Arkansas, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, West Virginia and others. The 6’0 wide receiver certainly has next level speed, reportedly running a 4.4 40-yard sprint, and is the 8th highest ranked recruit from Tennessee.

“I would like to thank all the college coaches that took their time to recruit me. This is one of the most important and exciting decisions I have had to make in my life,” Greene explained on Sunday afternoon via Twitter. “With that being said, I would like to announce my commitment to the University of Cincinnati.”

Greene also took an official visit to Clemson in early June and has trips to Arkansas, Mississippi State and Virginia Tech planned for later this month. Perkins was offered a scholarship from the Bearcats on Saturday after participating in a camp and went on to verbally commit on Tuesday morning.

The 6’3, 190-pound wide receiver from Ironton High School is already drawing comparisons to Alec Pierce because of his impressive athleticism and high catch radius. In addition to Cincinnati, Perkins plans to compete in upcoming camps at Kentucky, Duke, Ohio State, West Virginia, Northwestern and Virginia Tech.
