Football Huber an Academic All American

jason stamm
Release from UC:

University of Cincinnati football sixth-year senior Wilson Huber capped his career on Thursday by being named a Second Team Academic All-American by the College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA).

Huber, who started all 13 games at linebacker and was a team captain in 2022, becomes the 13th Bearcats’ football student-athlete to collect Academic All-America honors.

The Academic All-America awards were voted on by sports information directors from across the country. Players eligible for the honor had to be selected to their respective Academic All-District teams, have at least a 3.5 GPA and be a major contributor to their teams on the field.

The 2022 Academic All-America Teams recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field or court and in the classroom.

Most impressively, Huber is the sixth Bearcat to collect the honor since 2020 and his accomplishment marks the third straight season a UC football player has been named an Academic All-American, joining James Smith (Second Team, 2020), Desmond Ridder (First Team, 2021), Alec Pierce (First Team, 2021), Lorenz Metz (Second Team, 2021) and Bryan Cook (Second Team, 2021).

Huber is a two-time Academic All-District selection and earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in finance along with a real estate license during his time on the Clifton campus.
A five-time member of the AAC Academic Honor Roll, he collected the Cotton Bowl’s Dan S. Petty Scholar-Athlete Award honoree in 2021.

For his career, he played in an unofficial school-record 62 games and made 85 tackles, 13 TFLs and five sacks. A five-year contributor on special teams, he wrapped up his career with four blocked kicks – the third-most in school history – after blocking a punt against Louisville in his final game at the 2022 Wasabi Fenway Bowl

The Indianapolis, Ind., native began his career as a tight end, making two catches, and scoring a touchdown on a fumble recovery, before transitioning to linebacker.

After appearing as a situational pass rusher and reserve for two years on defense, he emerged as a team leader in 2022, starting every game and registering 54 tackles, 6.5 TFLS and one sack.

Huber and his father, Daryl, who played tight end at UC from 1985-88, are believed to be the only father-son captain duo in school history.

Wilson Huber plans to pursue a professional football career before following his dad’s footsteps again into the financial industry.

Hey all, on the eve of early National Signing Day, I wanted to go over where things stand with UC, after reaching out to various sources, from recruits, to coaches and those in the Rivals network.

*Honestly, it doesn't look to be a super eventful day, barring something unforeseen. The Bearcats are solid with the following pledges, who all reaffirmed their commitments to UC and plan to sign tomorrow:

**The one that still is in the air is three-star OL Josh Gregory. UC made an in-home visit with him last week and has worked hard to keep him. But I know Wisconsin, Colorado and Missouri are all options here. I'm told the Bearcats feel 'good' here, but that's not super reassuring. He officially visited the Badgers this past weekend and I'm told that really went well. So I think Wisconsin leads here, but you never know if he'll stick with UC.

***Rivals250 DB Amare Snowden was all in with the last staff, then decommitted when Fickell left for Wisconsin. DBs coach Kerry Coombs has stayed on him and worked to get him back. But sources have told me this is all but a done deal for Wisconsin. I'm surprised, honestly, since the Badgers are the only Big Ten team without a baseball program. I thought he had a good deal worked out for him to do both at UC. But I'm told Snowden will likely play summer ball and thinks he's in good position to be taken in the MLB Draft. Still, I think he would've put himself in better position to be drafted, had he stuck with UC. But barring something really unforeseen, I expect him to join the Badgers.

****UC has tried to bring in some other commits currently on board with Louisville. Yes, the Bearcats did get Jayden Davis, but that might be it. I'm told I probably "wouldn't believe the money with Adidas" that Louisville has for NIL deals. That and I had one source tell me all the guys who committed didn't do it because of Satterfield. They did it for the school, the city and of course the NIL money.

The one guy it sounds like UC could steal is Rivals250 LB Stanquan Clark. I'm told "That's Nicholson's guy" in regard to new LBs coach Derek Nicholson. Plus, multiple sources have told me that Clark's parents want him out of Miami. Still, that's why the Hurricanes are an option, because of Adidas and that tie, as well as why he could likely stick with Louisville. I think UC's collective could get him something, but I'm told it's doubtful many could match Louisville and its NIL deals, funneled in large part by the school's Adidas connections.

*****Aside from Clark, UC's new staff made a run at Rayquan Adkins and Adonijah Green and got both to officially visit the Dec. 10 weekend. But sources tell me they'll stick with Louisville, again barring something unforeseen. It's worth keeping an eye on both, but I wouldn't expect either to flip.

What this means is that UC will work on some guys who don't sign anywhere tomorrow, get them on officials in January and try to sign them in February. But I'd expect a ton of additions through the transfer portal. That's really gonna be the thing to watch going forward.
