QB Brady Drogosh, highest-rated recruit in UC's 2023 class, remains committed to Bearcats

Scott Satterfield on Monday received potentially the most impactful news in the week since becoming the 43rd head coach in the history of the University of Cincinnati football program.

Class of 2023 quarterback Brady Drogosh, the highest-rated recruit in Cincinnati's 2023 recruiting class, announced he's still committed to the Bearcats despite the program's recent coaching change.

Drogosh posted to Twitter an image of himself in a black UC No. 12 jersey and black Bearcats hat with his family by his side inside Nippert Stadium with the caption "Staying home."

The first day of the early signing period is Dec. 21.

Drogosh, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound four-star prospect from De La Salle Collegiate High School in Warren, Michigan, was named 2022 Michigan Mr. Football after leading De La Salle to its second straight Division 2 state championship. Drogosh threw for 249 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another 152 yards and three scores in the title game.

Drogosh and De La Salle outscored their opponents 175-29 in their playoff run.

Drogosh is the third commitment of the Satterfield era. He joins Louisville transfer offensive lineman Luke Kandra, an Elder High School product, and high-three-star 2023 safety Jayden Davis. The Suwanee, Georgia, native flipped from Louisville to Cincinnati on Sunday.

Drogosh initially committed to the Bearcats in May after receiving an offer from then-Cincinnati offensive coordinator Gino Guidugli.

Satterfield, who coached at Louisville since 2019 (25-24 in four seasons), was introduced as Cincinnati's next head coach on Dec. 5. Satterfield replaced Luke Fickell, who left UC on Nov. 27 to take over the program at Wisconsin.

Guidugli is expected to join Fickell at Wisconsin. Cincinnati defensive coordinator Mike Tressel, UC co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach Colin Hitschler and Bearcats wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator Mike Brown have already joined Fickell's Badgers staff. UC recruiting directors Pat Lambert and Maximus Stienecker have also reunited with Fickell at Wisconsin.

Guidugli is not expected to be on the sideline for Cincinnati during Saturday's Fenway Bowl, according to UC. The Bearcats, who will face Louisville in the bowl game, will be led by Cincinnati secondary coach and special teams coordinator Kerry Coombs, running backs coach Darren Paige, offensive line coach Mike Cummings, tight ends coach Nate Letton, defensive line coach Walter Stewart and outside linebackers coach James Ross III.

The other staff vacancies will be filled by quality control coaches and graduate assistants, according to UC.

The Fenway Bowl will kick off at 11 a.m. Saturday on ESPN.
