Cincinnati Bearcats veteran linebacker Dorian Jones announced his decision to put his name into the transfer portal throughout recent days.

Jones compiled a career-high 56 tackles to go with 2.5 tackles for loss, one interception and one sack in his only season with the Bearcats.

Scott Satterfield's team is hoping to improve in his second season at the helm after struggling to find success in the initial Big 12 campaign!

The former Louisville linebacker opted to follow Satterfield to Cincinnati last season but departs after spending just one year on the campus.
