CINCINNATI — The first wave of signees from the Bearcats 2022 recruiting class has crashed on the shores of Clifton. Half of the 20-player class signed their NLI's to attend Cincinnati on Wednesday morning.

Check out highlights of the first ten signees from Cincinnati's social media team.

Shepard kicked things off on Wednesday and is a three-star defensive tackle from Archbishop Alter (Dayton, OH).

Byrd is a three-star running back from Canal Winchester HS (Canal Winchester, OH).

Hardaway is a four-star safety and Cincinnati's second-highest-rated recruit behind Mario Eugenio.

Burroughs is a three-star wide receiver from Raines (Jacksonville, FL).

Willis is a three-star cornerback from Colerain (Cincinnati, OH) and is the lowest-rated recruit in the 2022 class. He's no slouch though, Willis earned an 0.8453 rating from 247Sports and is the 111th-ranked cornerback in the country.
