The Cincinnati Bearcats play their first game of the season August 31st against Towson at Nippert Stadium. We are less than a month away from football being back and fall practice is in full effect for the Bearcats. TFON has been on the scene for all of the Nippert Stadium and Camp Higher Ground practices and I wanted to highlight which wide receivers have impressed so far.
“There is a lot of depth, obviously we got some new guys that came in the summer, they have put in a lot of great work in the summer, we have a lot of receivers that have played a lot of college football which makes the transition easier with the quarterbacks, they are on the same page because their experience,” Bearcats quarterback coach Pete Thomas talking about the receiver room at Camp Higher Ground.
“We have a ton of them, but obviously Xzavier Henderson has been really good, Jamoi (Mayes) who just got here he’s been really good, I’m going to with more than three, I feel bad leaving other guys out, but Tony Johnson, Tyrin Smith and Aaron Turner,” Bearcats quarterback Brendan Sorsby talking about the three receivers that have stood out at camp so far.
“The biggest change on our roster from this year from last year is the amount of depth we have at receiver, the amount of depth we’ve have at receiver is awesome. Aaron Turner has had a great camp, he’s taken on the leadership role. Tyrin Smith as well, he’s real savvy and plays bigger than he is. Jamoi (Mayes) is a really good receiver, he’s done some good stuff and a really smart receiver,” Bearcats quarterback Brady Lichtenberg talking about the three receivers that have stood out at camp so far.
Last season, the wide receiver position wasn’t a bright spot overall for the 3-9 Bearcats, but during practice there have been a few players that have flashed.
