Individual thread posts for the 2025 recruiting class.

Somebody's got to be 1st in the class so here we go. Smith is a 6'5 reciever from the Dayton area. He's 200lbs with a thin build but he was recruited as a TE so he'll need to put on weight in the conditioning program. MIght be a good comp to Josh Whyle which is not a bad comp to have considering Josh made the league.

First verbal is good! Looks like a talented receiver. Will defintely need weight to block as well.

Kinsey selects the Bearcats over several offers from other Power 5 schools. Top 50 rated QB nationally per 247 in his HS class.

Zebulin Kinsey - great name

This one surprises me. Toronto has all of about 100 total population (I know it is slightly higher than that).

I was initially confused on this one. He has a brother named Zane who is a also a QB, formerly with Walsh College and is currently in the transfer portal. I got them mixed up and thought Zeb was a transfer.

Some local news flavor to the Kinseys

WIlliams has pledged to UC and was recruited by Kerry Coombs. If you go looking for star ratings, don't bother because no one has evaluated him yet. I saw one outlet estimate a 4 star rating here so this could turn out to be a big one for Bearcats.

Williams has offers from TN, Vandy and App State. Other schools showing interest are MD, WI and GA Tech.

We have added a breakaway threat in Mr. Johnson who will be a key addition to the team. Watch the first 3 videos on the videos on the Hudl link. You won't be disappointed. He can run by or over you. Low center of gravity at 5'9. Probably needs some time in the weight room at 180 but he's got a year of HS to work on that.

The videos look great. However, I am always cautious of high school competition. If you notice, the bleachers on both sides of the field are empty which leads me to believe that these are small schools.

Newton has almost 2500 students in grades 9-12 according to their website.

Moeller has 879 by comparison.

He is a 4* by 247 and the 31st ranked RB.

Johnson chose UC over GA Tech and Ole Miss. He had offers from FL, TN, KY & VA, among others.
