The University of Cincinnati announced its 2020 recruiting class Wednesday, which features two of the best players the program has ever signed – both from Ohio.

Quarterback Evan Prater (Wyoming High School) and linebacker Jaheim Thomas (Princeton High School) headline the Bearcats’ incoming class, which for the fourth consecutive season is mostly filled with local talent. Ten of the 16 players who signed with the Cincinnati Bearcats Wednesday on college football’s early national signing day went to high school in-state.

After the incoming recruiting class became official, head coach Luke Fickell said he recruited the best collection of local recruits in his time with the program.
