Biggest Impact Freshmen, Positions of Need Heading into the Big 12

Which freshman from the #CinCityPride22 recruiting class will make the biggest impact on this year's Cincinnati Bearcats team? Alex is joined by John Garcia Jr., the director of football recruiting for Sports Illustrated, for who he thinks the biggest impact freshmen will be.When we think of the Big 12, we think spread offenses, meaning we think about quarterbacks and wide receivers the most. But John thinks the running back position is a huge position of need as the Cincinnati Bearcats head into the Big 12. And despite the Big 12 being an offensive-driven league, John puts an emphasis on how important it is to get to the quarterback on defense.Even though the Cincinnati Bearcats are going to a Power Five conference, John thinks it's still important they beat their soon-to-be former Group of Five peers in the recruiting rankings.Oh and one more thing: Evan Prater should be the starting quarterback for the 2022 season.Find Locked On Bearcats on your favorite podcast platforms:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bearcats-daily-podcast-on-cincinnati-bearcats/id1600132108 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/50LUo2h1xoJFIWBv6KrUJS?si=db84b6a4edc142f8 Stitcher: https://listen.stitcher.com/yvap/?af_dp=stitcher://show/671454&af_web_dp=https://www.stitcher.com/show/671454 Alex Frank uses his experiences and connections from his days as Sports Director of the University of Cincinnati's Bearcast Media into Locked On Bearcats.
