Pinging The Portal: Cincinnati Offers Colorado State Cornerback TJ Crandall, Among Others

CINCINNATI — UC football is moving and shaking in the transfer portal starting with a visit set up with Ohio State safety Cam Martinez.

247Sports's Allan Trieu reported the visit as the Bearcats try to beef up the secondary.

Check out more on his game here.

Cincinnati also offered William and Mary edge rusher John Pius.

The junior tallied 53 tackles, nine sacks, and one forced fumble at the FCS level last season. It was good enough to earn an elite 85.1 PFF grade (26th among all FCS edge rushers), including a 90.8 pressure grade (ninth nationally).

He has offers from schools like Ball State and UConn, with one year of eligibility left.

UC also offered Colorado State cornerback TJ Crandall.

The freshman notched 19 tackles, one interception, and two pass breakups for the Rams this past season. He had a strong opening campaign by PFF grade (78.5), including a 77 coverage grade across eight games (303 total snaps).

He has three years of eligibility left with offers from Arizona State, UCLA, and West Virginia, among others.
