Cincinnati native and Bearcats junior running back Corey Kiner could be on the verge of a breakout campaign as the regular season nears!

Following a transfer to his hometown school a year ago, Kiner racked up 362 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 81 carries last season.

Kiner is expected to split snaps with Ryan Montgomery and Myles Montgomery but he should have a chance to earn more carries this year.
