  The first commitment in the class of 2027!

Cincinnati football added a local talent in Northwest (Ohio) safety Hezikiah Kelley on Monday.

The junior is not ranked in the Class of 2027 and holds four other offers from Miami (OH), Toledo, Kent State, and Eastern Michigan. Adding the 6-2, 190-pound local star is a solid way to open the 2027 commitments.

Check out his highlights here.
