Duquesne transfer sophomore defensive back Ayden Garnes is scheduled to take an official visit with the Cincinnati Bearcats coaching staff on Wednesday!
Garnes was a team captain at Duquesne and took home All-NEC First Team recognition this season, and is expected to have two years of eligibility left.
The Philadelphia product compiled 50 tackles, five tackles for loss and two interceptions in 2023, and should be considered a top priority for Cincinnati.
Several schools are targeting Garnes alongside the Bearcats including Indiana, West Virginia and more as he prepares to take multiple upcoming visits.
