Cincinnati Football: Bearcats running back room is set to experience an overhaul
A trio of Cincinnati running backs are transferring following the season finale including Stephan Byrd and Shaun Thomas along with Montgomery.
Byrd committed to the Bearcats in 2020 over several teams including Kentucky, Michigan, Michigan State, Tennessee and more but didn’t get a chance to play.
Others that opted to transfer are offensive lineman Cam Jones, tight end Chamon Metayer, wide receiver Donovan Ollie and defensive lineman Justin Wodtly.
Thomas saw limited action at Cincinnati with seven carries for just 12 rushing yards this season, and he is expected to have two years of eligibility remaining.
