Ironton product and 3-star wide receiver Ty Perkins committed to the Bearcats in June before signing his letter of intent today. The 6’3, 190-pound receiver will also join the team in January.

Cincinnati native and former Louisville offensive guard Luke Kandra announced his decision to transfer to his hometown school earlier this month and will add depth to the line next season.
