TicketsCINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati football team added 23 signees Wednesday on the initial day of the NCAA's early signing period, Head Coach Luke Fickell announced.

The signing class, dubbed #CinCityPride21, features 13 defensive players, nine on offense and one special teamer, Australian punter Mason Fletcher (Melbourne, Australia) a former Aussie Rules Footballer who measures in a 6-7 and is a product of Prokick Australia, the same group who helped develop current UC standout James Smith (Wangaratta, Australia).
