Cincinnati Football: Bearcats could target former Northwestern freshman linebacker Nigel Glover

Cincinnati should target Northwestern transfer linebacker Nigel Glover after the Ohio product recently entered the transfer portal.

Glover decided to transfer after Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald was fired this month due to hazing allegations in the program.

Prior to his freshman campaign with the Wildcats, Glover was the 7th highest ranked prospect from Ohio according to 247 Sports.

The Bearcats brought in a couple of transfer linebackers Dion Hunter and Dorian Jones but there is always room to add more experience.
