According to On3, Armstrong is the 33rd-ranked offensive tackle in the class and the 15th-ranked player in Ohio. He holds six offers from schools like Iowa State and Akron, but On3 gives Cincinnati a 75.9% chance of landing him. Check out his highlights here.

His brother, Deontae, a fellow 2024 offensive lineman at St. Edward, also got a scholarship offer from UC.

Deontae is not ranked on a database but does hold six offers from schools like Kentucky and Iowa State. On3 also gave Cincinnati a 75.9% chance of signing Deontae. Check out his highlights here.

The 2024 offers continue with Cincinnati targeting three-star defensive lineman Ted Hammond out of St. Xavier (Ohio).

According to On3 consensus, Hammond is the 318th-ranked player in the class and the 31st-ranked defensive lineman. He holds nine offers from schools like Vanderbilt and Kentucky. On3 gives UC a 43.8% chance of landing him, just ahead of Vandy at 38.3%.

Hammond is built perfectly for the Bearcats' 3-3-5 hybrid defense. At 6-foot-5, 258 pounds, Hammond uses instant speed to win as a head-up nose tackle. The sophomore's technique is impressive at this stage of his career—he knows how to use interior gaps to his advantage when he knows a double-team is coming. He'll need to put on a bit more weight, but everything starts with interior push in this kind of system, and Hammond can bring that. Check out his highlights here.

We round things out with an offer to 2024 offensive lineman Styles Prescod out of Fishers Hamilton Southeastern (Indiana).

Toledo got things rolling in May, then Ball State, Kent State, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, Miami (Ohio), West Virginia, and Indiana got involved after his recent performance at the UIndy Mega Camp. Check out his highlights here.
