High four star Joe Strickland included Cincinnati in his Top 10 today! Strickland is a strong side defensive end from Indianapolis, Indiana. His Top 10 schools include Cincinnati, Michigan, Penn State, Harvard, Indiana, Purdue, Northwestern, Nebraska, Virginia and Stanford.
If Fickell and Cincinnati manage to land another stud defensive recruit like this, I think we could be witnessing a Top 3 defense at Nippert in a few years! Strickland would be a Top 10 Cincinnati recruit of all time!
The 6’4″, 205 pounder is the 228th best player in the country, the 12th best strong side defensive end in the nation, and the 5th best player in Indiana! Strickland had other great offers that didn’t make his Top 10 such as Arizona State, Auburn, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Virginia Tech and more!
I think that Strickland has an underrated recruiting ranking, even with his Top 300 rankings, he is very quick off the ball and can get the offensive lineman’s hands off of him very quick! He disrupted what seemed like every play in high school! Bearcat Nation show Joe Strickland some love!
