CINCINNATI — Cincinnati football lost its top recruit on Friday for a rough recruiting blow entering the Miami (OH) matchup. According to On3's Hayes Fawcett, four-star 2025 tight end Mikkel Skinner is decommitting from UC.

247SportsComposite has Skinner ranked 384th nationally and 20th among tight ends.

The Riverside (South Carolina) playmaker committed on June 9th and now leaves Cincinnati with just two 2025 recruits rated 88 or higher on 247Sports. He got his first SEC offer from Kentucky on July 10th and was offered by South Carolina on July 25th. The Bearcats 2025 class is primed to head back into the 60s on average nationally across the major recruiting services.

Cincinnati has one 2025 four-star recruit left in cornerback Jahmari DeLoatch.
