CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati and the Department of Athletics are excited to announce that former Bearcats football standout and 2009 NFL Draft Pick Connor Barwin will be in attendance for UC's sold out football game against West Virginia on Friday, November 13, televised live on ESPN at 8 p.m. Barwin will be on campus to not only support the Bearcats in a tough BIG EAST Conference battle with rival West Virginia, he will also be lending a hand in support of Mitch Stone, honorary Bearcat.

Barwin will be signing autographs in the UC Bookstore located inside the Tangeman University Center from 6-7 p.m. A $10 fee per item will be required and all proceeds will go to benefit Mitch Stone, a local boy battling cancer who the UC Football team has adopted this season as an honorary member of their team.
