This Cincinnati Bearcats Football position group will elevate the offense in 2025

The Cincinnati Bearcats lost their running back Corey Kiner to the NFL this offseason. Kiner ran for 1,153 yards and 4 touchdowns last season, also catching 16 passes for 111 yards. That's 1,264 yards of offense that need to be made up for. The Bearcats do return Evan Pryor, the speedster running back who totaled 599 yards from scrimmage last season. Along with Pryor, the Bearcats have a transfer running back Tawee Walker joining the offense. Walker ran for 864 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, averaging 4.5 yards per carry. Walker left Luke Fickell and Wisconsin for a larger role and a better situation in which to develop.

The Bearcats' offense last season struggled in the red zone, something a dominant duo of running backs can solve. Walker and Pryor, both having different running styles and both in their senior season, know how to complement one another within the offense. Walker is the hard-nosed runner who will be on the field on first and second down, maybe even on fourth and short. Pryor will be used as a third-down back while also getting on the field in empty personnel. Pryor will do most of his damage out of the passing game, getting touches in screen passes and check-downs.
