College Football World Reacts to Ivan Pace Jr. Transferring to Cincinnati

CINCINNATI — Ivan Pace Jr. is returning home for the rest of his college career to the joy of Bearcats fans everywhere. Pace's younger brother and fellow linebacker, Deshawn, had an impressive sophomore season playing for UC and he figures to make up a dynamic playmaking duo with his brother in the middle of Mike Tressel's defense.

Pace led the Bearcats in interceptions this season (4), while Pace Jr. picked off a pass of his own and has 11 career sacks in three seasons at Miami. Here is how some of the names around the college football world reacted to Pace's transfer from Miami to UC.

This is a big time get for a #Cincinnati program that just made it to the CFP. Former #MiamiOH LB Ivan Pace Jr. was the best defensive player in the #MAC this year, disruptive in both running and passing downs.
