Bearcats Land Auburn Transfer Wide Receiver Tar'Varish Dawson; UC Linebacker Cam Junior Enters Transfer Portal

Cincinnati had some portal movement on Friday.

CINCINNATI — UC added its first transfer this cycle at its biggest position of need in Auburn wide receiver Tar'Varish Dawson.

The 5-10, 175-pound speedster had just 2 catches for 30 yards last season but should be able to compete in the thin slot position and has three years of eligibility left.

He runs a 10.58-second 100-meter dash and was the Tigers starting slot receiver for one week last season before getting replaced. The move adds much-needed speed and Power-Five experience to the Bearcats receiving room.

According to 247Sports, Dawson ranked 351st nationally in the 2021 class.

Another big night for Tar’varish Dawson (@TarvarishD), who made two huge offensive plays early, including this 83-yard bomb from Durand Bundy.

Cincinnati also lost redshirt sophomore linebacker Cam Junior to the transfer portal.

He posted a pair of tackles last season across two appearances and never really got extensive playing time this spring. Junior is the third UC linebacker to enter the portal this spring.
