Bearcats veterans Jowon Briggs, Dontay Corleone, Emory Jones and Deshawn Pace will represent the program at Big 12 Media Day next month!

Corleone is expected to contend for the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year as he hopes to build on a dominant redshirt freshman campaign.

Jones showed off his elite dual-threat ability during the spring scrimmage and should be named starting quarterback entering fall camp.

Pace is a key player to keep an eye on moving forward as the Cincinnati product is set to play a hybrid of linebacker and safety next season.
