Following an official visit to Cincinnati last month, Betsey included the Bearcats in his finalists along with the Alabama Crimson Tide and UConn Huskies.

Heading into his senior season at St. Thomas More High School, Betsey is the highest rated prospect from Connecticut in the 2024 class per 247 Sports.
