Several former Cincinnati Bearcats participated in Pro Day at Kettering Health Performance Center this morning, showing off their next level potential in front of 50+ NFL coaches and scouts.
Bearcats sixth-year quarterback Ben Bryant threw to wide receiver prospects Tyler Scott and Tre Tucker, tight end Josh Whyle and running back Charles McClelland for approximately 45 minutes.
Scott and Tucker showed off their elite speed in the 40-yard dash with unofficial times of 4.32 seconds, while linebacker Ivan Pace Jr clocked in with an unofficial time of 4.50 seconds.
It’s difficult to gauge when the prospects will get drafted in the 2023 NFL Draft next month but Pace, Scott, Tucker and Whyle are currently projected to get picked between rounds 2-5.

There was at least one representative from all 32 NFL franchises including Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and owner Mike Brown, and Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel.
Bengals defensive line coach Marion Hobby led several drills as linebackers Ty Van Fossen and Wilson Huber, and defensive lineman Jabari Taylor displayed their athleticism and strength.
A pair of former Bearcats defensive backs Arquon Bush and Ja’Von Hicks participated in various drills at Pro Day and are hoping to get selected at some point in the upcoming NFL Draft.
