Cincinnati Football: West Virginia linebacker Jared Bartlett joins the Bearcats
By Charles Post
Georgia native and West Virginia linebacker Jared Bartlett announced his commitment to join the Cincinnati Bearcats on Sunday night!
Following four years at West Virginia, Bartlett decided to enter the portal in recent days and eventually landed on transferring to Cincinnati.
The former 3-star recruit posted 49 tackles and 4.5 sacks this season, highlighted by a six-tackle showing in the Mayo Bowl victory last month.
With an opportunity to close out his career on a high note, Bartlett will bring plenty of experience and versatility to the Bearcats defense next year.
