CINCINNATI — UC football is reportedly close to adding a New England Patriots scout to its staff.

"A.J. Howard is expected to join the UC staff in a defensive role, sources tell FootballScoop."

Howard played for the Patriots as a member of their practice squad during the 2019 Super Bowl run and has been a college scout with the franchise for the past two seasons.

The Appalachian State defensive back (2014-17) recorded 141 career tackles and 4 interceptions as a Mountaineer.

Cincinnati brought in former New York Jets scouting department riser Jack Griffith to be director of player personnel. Now, they are poised to hire another AFC East talent evaluator.
