08/30/25 - Cade Wolford, rFr/2029, Cincinnati, 5-09, 190 (DS#37 WR) + More +

Da'Realyst Clark returned a kickoff 100-yard for a touchdown to lift Kent State to a 21-17 win over Merrimack on Saturday, ending the Golden Flashes' 21-game losing streak in interim coach Mark Carney's first game. The Warriors took their only lead on a 45-yard field goal by Carlton Thai with 5:40 to play. A turnover set up the score. Clark then fielded the ensuing kickoff a couple yards deep in the end zone and burst up the right hash marks. He bounced off a couple of players just past the 30, kept his balance and raced to the end zone.

The last win for the Golden Flashes was a 38-10 decision over Central Connecticut, three games into the 2023 season. A pair of touchdown receptions by Cade Wolford - from C.J. Montes for 30 yards in the second quarter and from Dru DeShields covering 79 yards early in the third - staked the Golden Flashes to a 14-3 lead. Merrimack then scored on three of four possessions. Ayden Pereira found Seth Sweitzer behind the defense for 36 yards and then hit Aveon Smith for the 2-point conversion that made it 14-14. The Warriors covered 34 yards in 11 plays before turning the ball over on downs at the Kent State 41 with 1:42 to play. - Kent State/AP College Football

03/08/23 - Dee Wiggins, rSr/2024, Cincinnati, 6-3, 193 (DS#104 WR) + More +

Louisville transfer Dee Wiggins, a 6-foot-3, 195-pound wide receiver, found several balls Monday. Then again, after transferring from the Miami Hurricanes to Louisville, he's finally comfortable with a set of plays. "The transition for me is 100% perfect," Wiggins said. "This is my first year ever having the same playbook back-to-back. Since my freshman year I've had a different coach every year. I feel more confident and ready." A season-ending injury limited Wiggins to three games at Louisville last year.

He's now on a team that's about to have two receivers drafted into the NFL (Tyler Scott and Tre Tucker) and could fill a void. "Going hard every rep, that's a blessing!" Wiggins said of his day's work. "It's really on me to come out here and do it every day and be consistent. No matter where you go, you've got an opportunity. God created them, you've got to make them." The most experienced returning receiver is Chris Scott, who has added weight and is 6-foot-2, 205 pounds. The physiques of Washington State transfer Donovan Ollie, at 6-foot-3, 212 pounds, and 6-foot-4, 198-pound Sterling Berkhalter of North Carolina A&T (by way of Princeton High) are notable. - Cincinnati Enquirer

01/12/23 - Derrick Canteen, rSr/2025, Cincinnati, 5-10, 193 (DS#43 SS) + More +

Cornerback Derrick Canteen tweeted Monday night that he has decided to transfer from Georgia Southern to Virginia Tech. He had tweeted on Dec. 13 that he was entering the transfer portal as a graduate transfer. Canteen made the All-Sun Belt Conference third team last fall, when he had 64 tackles, one sack, 12 pass breakups and one interception.

He made the All-Sun Belt Conference first team in 2020, when he tied for the FBS lead with six interceptions. He also had 48 tackles, 10 pass breakups, a forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He earned Freshman All-America honors that season. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Canteen has three years of eligibility left, including the extra year of eligibility that the NCAA granted all 2020 fall-sports athletes because of the coronavirus pandemic. - Roanoke Times

Western Kentucky's football team took another loss to the NCAA transfer portal on Tuesday. Redshirt junior tight end Joey Beljan, who tallied 15 catches for 191 yards and four touchdowns this past season for WKU, was among a group of transfer signees announced Tuesday by Cincinnati. The departure of Beljan, a 6-foot-3, 250-pound native of Holland, N.J., leaves the Tops even thinner at the tight end position. - BG Daily News

01/12/23 - Malik Vann, rSr/2024, Cincinnati, 6-2, 267 (DS#101 DT) + More +

The University of Cincinnati's newly enlarged recruiting department announced five more transfers on Tuesday, adding to their latest recruiting class. But, as coach Scott Satterfield has said, "you have to recruit your own players". Though he never officially left, the biggest news on the Bearcat roster Tuesday was the return for a sixth year of eligibility for defensive lineman Malik Vann. Vann announced the news on Instagram in the afternoon and it was confirmed by University sources.

The 6-foot-4, 275-pound Vann played in only two games this season, suffering a pectoral injury in the home victory against Kennesaw State. He's been with the team since 2018 and has played in 49 career games. His best season came in 2021 when the Bearcats went to the Cotton Bowl in the national semifinal game against Alabama. He had 33.5 tackles that year, 8.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. He now joins veteran Jowon Briggs on the new Bearcats defensive line coached by new defensive coordinator Bryan Brown. Brown's defensive line at Louisville led the nation in sacks last season. - Cincinnati Enquirer

01/11/23 - Emory Jones, rSr/2024, Cincinnati, 6-2, 203 (DS#29 QB) + More +

Quarterback Emory Jones was announced on Coach Satterfield's first signing day. During Arizona State's difficult 3-9 season he was in eight games and threw for seven touchdowns. He had games of 261 yards vs. Utah, 243 vs. USC and 227 vs. Stanford. He was 7-for-9 for 59 yards when the Sun Devils upset then-top-25 Washington State.

The 6-foot-2, 211-pound signal caller was with Florida for four years and started in 2021 throwing for 2,734 yards and 19 touchdowns while running for 758 yards. "Emory is the guy who's played in the SEC," Satterfield said on signing day. "He's won big games in the SEC. I do think he's got a tremendous upside. He's got a lot of talent. He's got a really good arm and he can run as well. So it kind of fits what we want with that. I also believe it's important to be able to land a quarterback of his caliber at this stage to be able to help us in the wide receiver room." - Cincinnati Enquirer

01/08/23 - Darian Varner, rSr/2025, Cincinnati, 6-2, 265 (DS#999 DE) + More +

Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell noted last month that one unit in need of more bodies was the defensive line. UW moved closer to adding another prospect on Thursday when Temple's Darian Varner announced he planned to join the Badgers. Varner, 6-foot-2 and 260 pounds, has two seasons of eligibility remaining. A native of Norfolk, Virginia, Varner last month announced he planned to transfer to Virginia Tech. UW's coaches were able to change his mind.

Varner played in 10 of 12 games this past season, missing the final two games because of a foot injury. He finished with 7 1/2 sacks and 12 1/2 tackles for losses, both the No. 2 mark on the team, and 35 total tackles and was named first-team all-American Athletic Conference. Varner redshirted in 2020 and recorded a combined three sacks and seven tackles for loss in 11 games in 2021. UW must replace nose tackle Keeanu Benton, who led the unit in sacks (4 ½), tackles for loss (10) and total tackles (35). - Journal Sentinel
