Guys, I caught up with one of UC's visitors from the Navy game, three-star TE Gavin Grover. This was his second game this season, as he also visited for the Indiana game. Grover is now up to 14 offers, most recently from Rutgers, Missouri and West Virginia.
I can tell you right now that UC is quite high on Grover's list. He told me he wants to stay close to home, he likes how UC uses its tight ends and he likes how the Bearcats have developed players, especially tight ends. He specifically pointed out Josh Whyle and the transformation he had from a tall, skinny kid out of high school to the 250-pound guy he is now.
Grover also really likes assistant coach Nate Letton. He told me he likes how many good things he's heard about Letton from others outside of UC, how he honest he believes he is and how he respects Letton for how he handles himself when talking to people. "I just love where our relationship is going and can’t wait to continue building this with him," Grover told me.
The previous weekend, Oct. 29, Grover was at Michigan for its game against Michigan State. He told me he loves what the program has done with tight ends and loves the atmosphere at home games. The previous weekend, Oct. 22, Grover was at Penn State for its white out game against Minnesota. He told me he loves how guys like Mike Gesicki and Pat Freirmuth are in the NFL, how the tight end is used and then told me that Beaver Stadium is the "best gameday atmosphere I've seen."
Two visits left on the docket this season. Grover isn't going anywhere this weekend, but will be at Pittsburgh Nov. 19 and Ohio State Nov. 26 for the Michigan game. I honestly think Grover is the tight end that UC is in best with. And the Bearcats will always prioritize that position. So yes, I think UC is the leader, but it's still slim. Grover is definitely considering everyone.
Full story coming.
