CINCINNATI — The second group of signees from the Bearcats 2022 recruiting class put pen to paper on Wednesday. Every player save for one in the 20-player class signed their NLI's to attend Cincinnati. Tight end Danny Lewis is the only player who didn't sign on Wednesday. The three-star is etching his signature on the normal Signing Day in February.

Check out highlights of the next nine signees from Cincinnati's social media team.

Body is three-star safety from Gateway (Monroeville, PA).

Lewis is a three-star sniper from Kalamazoo Central (Kalamazoo, MI).

Richesson is a three-star recruit and the first Elite 11 quarterback in program history. He played high school football for former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer at Lipscomb Academy (Nashville, TN).

Eugenio is a four-star defensive end from Gaither (Tampa, FL) and is the highest-rated defensive signing in program history.

Peterson is a three-star wide receiver from Columbia (Lake City, FL).

Bridges is a three-star cornerback from The Bullis School (Potomac, MD).

Gillison is a three-star defensive end from Pickerington Central (Pickerington, OH). He joins his high school teammate C.J. Doggette Jr. as members of the Bearcats' 2022 class.

Thompson is a three-star linebacker from St. Francis De Sales (Columbus, OH).

Kalen Carroll is a three-star cornerback from Center Grove (Greenwood, IN).

Cincinnati sports the best Group of 5 recruiting class in the country and arguably the best of any team making up the new Big 12. They'll be tuned in on New Year's Eve watching current stars do something they hope to accomplish every single year: compete in the College Football Playoff.
