CINCINNATI — The Bearcats landed another commitment in the 2026 class from Clay-Chalkville (Alabama) safety Xavier Starks.

The 6-foot, 185-pound talent is not ranked on a major service and holds 14 offers from schools like Arkansas and UAB.

He is Cincinnati's fifth commit in the class and second safety addition after Jaidon Windom committed last week. Check out Starks's highlights here.
