CINCINNATI — More transfer portal news trickled out on Monday as the Bearcats look to add more players in the coming weeks. 247Sports's Chris Hummer reported Duke transfer running back Star Thomas is visiting Cincinnati soon.

UPDATE: Hummer reported Thomas is visiting on Jan. 7.

Thomas notched 213 carries for 871 yards and seven rushing touchdowns this season to pair with 20 catches for 153 yards and a score. The 6-foot, 210-pound back has one year of eligibility left.

He tallied a 70.7 PFF grade this season on a career-high 535 snaps. Cincinnati doesn't have a clear go-to rushing option on the roster right now and Thomas could take that baton from Corey Kiner.

Cincinnati also showed interest in William & Mary cornerback Sascha Garcia with an offer.

The redshirt freshman holds three more years of eligibility after tallying 19 tackles and 10 pass breakups as an FCS Freshman All-Amercan.

That amounted to a 73.1 PFF grade on 620 snaps at 6-2, 185 pounds.
