Josh Whyle

Whyle put together another good year in 2021 as an integral part of the Bearcats’ offense. The big-bodied tight end logged at least one target in every game as one of the go-to options for Desmond Ridder. Playing in every game, Whyle totalled 26 catches for 332 yards and six touchdowns. Heading into 2022, Cincinnati loses their top quarterback, wide receiver and running back, so the experience of the senior Whyle should be heavily relied upon. He’ll likely be catching passes from Ben Bryant, who already has three years of experience in the Bearcats’ program. Cincinnati’s offense figures to take a step back after a dream season in 2021, but Whyle will be an alpha on this offense and should solidify himself as an NFL-caliber prospect.
