13 days until graduation

In my first season as part of the UC video staff, I was involved in 13 games, and a big part of that ten-win season was one of the best defensive backs in UC history, Haruki Nakamura.

Nakamura, whose final high school game was a loss in the state title against, maybe you’ve heard of them, the Elder Panthers, was an absolute stud for the Bearcats secondary.


The post-game handshake between Rutgers and UC players and coaches in 2007. This was Brian Kelly's first Big East game as head coach in Cincinnati

Nakamura anchored a defensive backfield that took 26 interceptions from opposing quarterbacks in Brian Kelly’s first season in the Queen City.

Here’s to No. 13, the guy who now wears purple, oddly enough, as a member of the Baltimore Ravens, and less than two weeks to graduation.
