Cincinnati understands that talent is critical for the program’s success and the recent addition of Grant is a major hire as they join the power 5. With the Buckeyes, Grant helped Ohio State land another top recruiting class for 2023 which is the ranked the best in the B1G per 247Sports.
Moving forward, the Bearcats will look to add nationally ranked players to help compete with teams like Texas and Oklahoma before they move in the SEC.
