The University of Cincinnati has had several successful football players play at Nippert Stadium and make it to the NFL.
However, since ratings of recruits have begun, no player has been rated higher by the various services than Wyoming High School four-star dual-threat quarterback Evan Prater, who made it official and signed with UC early Wednesday. A ceremony will happen at 11:30 a.m.
Among recent NFL players from UC: Travis and Jason Kelce (Chiefs and Eagles), Derek Wolfe (Broncos), Connor Barwin (Texans, Eagles), Kevin Huber (Bengals) and Brent Celek and Trent Cole (Eagles).
