Cincinnati Bearcats Football 2018
Season in Review: James Wiggins
We wrap up our season review series with a look at a player who seemed to make every big play for the Bearcats.
Season in Review: Perry Young
Young didn’t play the full season, unfortunately, but he was still an all-conference contributor.
Season in Review: Bryan Wright
Wright will be the top returning pass rusher for the Bearcats in 2019.
Season in Review: Jarell White
White made solid progress in his sophomore season and should be poised for a breakout year in 2019.
Season in Review: Michael Warren
Warren was Cincinnati’s offensive MVP from start to finish.
Season in Review: Ethan Tucky
The defensive end transferred from Boston College and provided depth up front.
Cortez Broughton: An Appreciation
So many of the seniors for the 2018 Cincinnati Bearcats saved their greatest season for their last and Cortez Broughton was the best of them all.
Season in Review: Desmond Ridder
Cincinnati’s quarterback of the future has arrived.
Season in Review: Michael Pitts
Pitts’ work at the JACK position helped elevate the play of the defensive front.
Marquise Copeland: An Appreciation
Copeland carried the Bearcats on defense in 2017 and then helped lead it to glory in 2018. Those were just two chapters in a brilliant career.
Season in Review: Rashad Medaris
Medaris finally got to play a full season with the Bearcats in 2018 and his patience was rewarded with a few big plays.
Season in Review: Tavion Thomas
Despite playing as a backup, Thomas flashed exceptional potential.
Malik Clements: An Appreciation
Clements played multiple positions during his four seasons with the Bearcats and he just kept getting better and better during each of them.
Season in Review: Charles McClelland
When they needed a big play, McClelland was there for the Bearcats.
Season in Review: Cam Jefferies
In his first season as a Bearcat, the Bowling Green transfer used his previous experience to help lead the secondary.
Tyrell Gilbert: An Appreciation
Multiple coaches, defenses and positional responsibilities couldn’t stop Gilbert.
Kimoni Fitz: An Appreciation
It took a while but Kimoni Fitz finally had the breakout season the Bearcats were looking for in 2018.
Season in Review: Darrick Forrest
In a year where a number of defenders stood out, Forrest went about his business very effectively.
Season in Review: Joel Dublanko
Dublanko was a solid role-playing linebacker off the bench.
Hayden Moore: An Appreciation
Moore never became the quarterback the Bearcats needed, but he stuck with the program through four years of upheaval and got to end his collegiate career on a high note.
Grading the Offense: 2018
A brand new quarterback and a breakout year for Michael Warren culminated in one effective Cincinnati offense.
Season in Review: Josiah Deguara
The Bearcats are making changes on offense and one of them is highlighting the tight end more often. Deguara has been the beneficiary and driving force behind the adjustment.
Season in Review: Coby Bryant
In his second season, Bryant made a name for himself in the secondary.
Kahlil Lewis: An Appreciation
Nobody caught passes quite like Lewis for the last three seasons.
Season in Review: Marcus Brown
Brown is part of the bright future for Cincinnati’s defensive line.
Bearcats Ranked in Final AP Poll for the First Time Since 2011
Now that all the bowl games have been played, the Bearcats are left standing as one of the top 25 teams in the country.
Season in Review: Curtis Brooks
Brooks was one of the top reserves on the defensive line and has built up experience as he gets ready for next year.
Michael Warren Finished What He Started
In Cincinnati’s Military Bowl victory, Warren came up big, continuing a trend that started at the very beginning of the season.

Marcus Freeman is entering his third season as Cincinnati’s Defensive Coordinator. Bearcats had the 11th ranked defense in 2018, allowing just 28 TDs (8th in the country). Freeman worked at Ohio State, Kent State and Purdue before reuniting with Luke Fickell. . Before he got into coaching, Freeman was a dominant linebacker at Ohio State. He was a 2x All Second Team Big Ten player. He started 37 games between 2004-2008. 2007 was his high for tackles, with 109 total. In 2007 and 2008, he recorded 9.5 sacks each year. His only 2 INTs came in 2006 and he forced 2 fumbles in 2007. . He was a 5th round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft by the Bears, but never played a game in the NFL. He was waived before the season started and signed contracts with Bills and Texans too, but an enlarged heart condition, found on one of his physicals, forced him to retire. . Freeman was listed at #24 on @theathletichq list of assistant coaches who could become head coach soon. Some Ohio or Michigan MAC school would benefit greatly from pursuing Freeman in the future. . . . #cincitypride #cincinnati #nati #bearcats #bearcatspride #bearcatsnation #cincinnatibearcats #gobearcats #ucbearcats #uc #cincinnatifootball #bearcatsfootball #marcusfreeman #football
