Broughton and Alex Pace combine to give UC a formidable duo on the interior defensive line.
In 2014, Cortez Broughton was a promising freshman defensive tackle who played in two games before the ugly storm of injury ruined things. The former two-star recruit was forced to take a medical redshirt and wait until 2015 to get back on the field.
Any worries about a recurrence of his injury were wiped away by season’s end, as Broughton played in 12 games and started 11. Along with Alex Pace, he makes up a formidable duo on the interior of the defensive line for the Cincinnati Bearcats.
