The Bearcats landed another offensive lineman in the transfer portal to join Taran Tyo. Albany's Nolan Latulippe is landing with Cincinnati, according to multiple reports.

The 6-7, 281-pound FCS talent holds two seasons of eligibility after playing 1,848 snaps at right tackle over the past two seasons, including a FCS freshman All-American showing in 2023.

He should immediately compete for the starting right tackle job with names like Deondre Buford, Xavier Lozowicki, and Ethan Green. He'll have to elevate his game at a much tougher level though. The sophomore hasn't graded above 58.1 overall on PFF in either of his two college seasons.
