WYOMING – The University of Cincinnati scored a major football recruiting coup Thursday hauling in the Prater brothers of Wyoming High School.

For the 2020 freshman class, the Bearcats have lassoed Evan Prater, a 6-foot-5, 190-pound multi-sport athlete for the Cowboys who led them to their first state championship in 41 years as a junior quarterback. He was named the cincinnati.com small division football player of the year at the April 18 Greater Cincinnati Sports Awards.

The dual-threat dasher ran for 242 yards and three touchdowns and threw for 149 and a couple more in Wyoming's 42-14 of Girard in the Division IV title game in Canton last December.
