With dozens of Greater Cincinnati schools participating in showcases for college coaches early next month, The Enquirer is updating its recruiting lists of the best thus-uncommitted local talent.
While the NCAA Division I signing period ended April 1, the final signing period for Division II football athletes is Aug. 1, 2025. To help all involved, here are some of the top uncommitted and/or unsigned class of 2025 football players around Cincinnati. This file could be updated.
Andrew Bessler, RB/LB, Covington Catholic
Height: 6-foot. Weight: 195 pounds.
2024 stats: 29 rushes, 220 yards, six rushing touchdowns; 50 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions.
