Who will be the next quarterback of the Cincinnati Bearcats?

A lot has changed since last season. The Bearcats lost over 30 players, including nine to the NFL Draft — the most in school history. One of the players drafted was quarterback Desmond Ridder. After losing one of the best signal callers in the country, there is an open battle between two players to be the next Bearcats quarterback: last year's backup, redshirt sophomore Evan Prater, and senior Ben Bryant, Ridder’s backup in 2019 and 2020, who transferred to Eastern Michigan and passed for over 3,000 yards before returning to Cincinnati.
