CINCINNATI — The 2024 season ended with a dud for Cincinnati across Saturday's 20-13 loss to TCU. The team earned a 69.5 PFF grade from the fifth consecutive loss.

On offense, Brendan Sorsby posted another solid outing snap-to-snap at 75.7 overall, including a 78.7 rushing grade. He did what he had to do for a completely handicapped offense passing the ball. Sorsby's receivers dropped a whopping five passes on Saturday to round out a 10-drop total over the past three games (eight combined the rest of the season).

He bounced back well to close the campaign with three consecutive 70-plus grades after rough showings against Colorado and West Virginia.

The rest of the top performers included Gavin Gerhardt (70.1), Dartanyan Tinsley (65.9), Jamoi Mayes (65.9), and Luke Kandra (65.3). On the flip side, Francis Sherman (41.7 overall) posted a sub-52 grade for the sixth time in the past seven games to cap a terrible blocking season from that position group.

The other lowly graded players included Joe Royer (48.6), Tony Johnson (50), Gavin Grover (54.2), and Sterling Berkhalter (54.6).

Onto the defense, where things went much better on Saturday night. Jordan Robinson led the way in the secondary with a 76.2 grade amidst nice coverage all night. Derrick Canteen (72.3) mixed in behind him along with Jonathan Thompson (71), Montay Weedon (70.6), and Simeon Coleman (69.5).

The youth has stepped up well as the season went on, but UC is still looking for that next generation of trench impact. Dontay Corleone (63.7) didn't have much impact at all in his seventh-consecutive game with a sub-75 grade. He's no longer an elite player at season's end.

At the bottom, Cameron Roetherford (42.3 overall) had the lowest defensive grade, followed by Jordan Young (52.8), Tre Gola-Callard (53), Logan Wilson (55.2), and Brian Simms III (56.1).
