Cincinnati Football: Bearcats transfers expected to make an immediate impact this season

Cincinnati Bearcats transfer additions Daniel Grzesiak, Xzavier Henderson and Dorian Jones are expected to make an immediate impact this season!

Grzesiak compiled 52 tackles and 8.5 sacks at Utah State last year and could have a significant role on the Bearcats defensive front going forward.

Henderson totaled a team-high 410 yards and 38 catches at Florida in 2022, and should have a chance to lead the Bearcats in receiving this season.

Jones racked up 34 tackles and three sacks at Louisville a year ago before deciding to follow head coach Scott Satterfield to Cincinnati in December.

Despite being a back up for most of his time with the Cardinals, Jones has plenty of experience because he started the final six games in 2021.

Following three seasons with the Gators, Henderson decided to reunite with former teammate and Cincinnati starting quarterback Emory Jones.

With an experienced and explosive defensive unit in place, the Bearcats have potential to find success as Grzesiak joins Bryan Brown’s defense.
