The University of Cincinnati added a key piece to wide receiver coach Mike Brown's corps Thursday night with the commitment of Class of 2021 wideout Will Pauling.
Pauling, tabbed as a three-star recruit from Homewood-Flossmoor in Illinois, announced his decision to join the Bearcats on Twitter.
Ranked the 33rd best recruit in Illinois for the Class of 2021, Pauling held over a dozen offers from the likes of Ball State, Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan and Syracuse, among others.
Pauling is UC's first hard wide receiver commit for the Class of 2021 and second skilled position player, along with running back Myles Montgomery from Neptune Beach, Florida.
