TicketsCINCINNATI – Cincinnati football head coach Scott Satterfield announced the Bearcats's Early Signing Day additions for the 2024 Class on Wednesday.
Cincinnati inked 21 high school prospects in addition to eight college transfers during the transfer portal window.
Led by four-star quarterback Samaj Jones (Philadelphia, Pa. / St. Joseph's Prep), the Bearcats will welcome 10 early enrollees from the high school ranks next month.
Cincinnati Taft defensive back Quinton Price highlights five signees from the state of Ohio, including a pair of tight ends in Gavin Grover (Lewis Center / Olentangy) and Devyn Zahursky (Berea / Midpark) as well as record-breaking running back Jakorion Caffey (Avon) and offensive lineman Jake Wheelock (Dayton / Stebbins) – the first commitment in the 2024 Class.
Wheelock, Grover and Zahursky will join Jones as mid-year enrollees. They will be joined by speedy Georgia wide receivers Dakarai Anderson (Perry, Ga. / Perry) and Kale Woodburn (Warner Robins, Ga. / Houston County).
Four-star cornerback Daniel James (Powder Springs, Ga. / McEachern) also highlights the class. He is rated the No. 18 cornerback recruit in the country and among the nation's Top 300 prospects by On3 and 247Sports.
Rounding out the Early Signing Day class were eight transfers, who were already announced.
"I'm glad today's finally here," Satterfield said. "Recruiting has been a long journey this past season. When you think about all these high school players, we started off with over 1000 of them back when we first got here trying to recruit this class and to get narrowed down to this group right here is special. We have 21 high school recruits who are going to come in and be part of our family now. We're extremely excited about that.
"We have several players from the state of Ohio. We want to start right here in the city of Cincinnati and work within that three to four-hour radius all the way up through our state. We are really proud of this state of how good the high school football is and how great the high school coaches do. They do an absolutely great job, some of the best in the country, in coaching their players in high school and developing them. When they when they get to college they're ready to go."
