The 2025 official Cincinnati Bearcats Football depth chart is live as Cincinnati finalized its top positions across the roster.

The positions of note stayed mostly the same throughout fall camp, with Deondre Buford maintaining a starting role at right tackle (Ethan Green is backing him up) along with Taran Tyo, Gavin Gerhardt, Evan Tengesdahl, and Joe Cotton down the line.

On the other side of the ball, Cincinnati went with the expected choice of Matthew McDoom as their top cornerback and will have Logan Wilson flanking him on the other side after his one-year stint at safety last season.

It's all systems go for Cincinnati as it tries to upset the Nebraska Cornhuskers as betting underdogs this Thursday.

“It’s a little different, playing a midweek game,” Satterfield said about the earlier game. “This Sunday is a Tuesday for us according to our schedule, we always count back from game day. It’ll be a short week for us playing on a Thursday, but we’re playing on ESPN during opening weekend, so it will be a great opportunity for us to go out and see what kind of team we have.”
