The Bearcat Journal can confirm that Cincinnati has picked up a commitment from 2018 Glenbard West (IL) WR Alec Pierce late Monday night.

“I really liked the city and the school and the coaching staff is great,” Pierce informed the Bearcat Journal. “I had a really good visit and I just think it was a really good fit.”

The 6-foot-3, 196-pounder got a lot of buzzes when he was talking to the Bearcat Journal and when he called the staff they were very happy.

“They were excited, coach Denbrock didn’t answer at first, but he was on a plane. So I called coach Fickell and he was happy. 20 minutes later I got a call from Denbrock and he was pumped."

CIncinnati’s 2018 QB commit Ben Bryant also played a big factor here.

“Ben had a pretty big influence, it’s nice to already know the QB coming in. I’m excited to get out there, I liked all the guys out there.”
