CINCINNATI — The Bearcats got a crucial player back in the fold for the 2025 football season. The Enquirer's Scott Springer reports that safety Logan Wilson had his waiver approved for one more year of eligibility.

Wilson notched 20 tackles, one interception, and four pass breakups.

He will provide more depth in the secondary next season and should help beef up a struggling special teams unit even more. Wilson started one game in 2024 and tallied a 59.6 defensive PFF grade across 285 snaps. 

His impact was felt more on special teams, notching a 62.5 special teams grade on 103 snaps. Cincinnati should be a bowl-eligible outfit if it gets better results from the forgotten phase (86th nationally in PFF special teams grade).
