Ryan Stout brings rare movement skills and edge to Cincinnati’s OL room
Stout stands out as a lineman whose athleticism is a real differentiator—ESPN noted a 4.97-second 40-yard dash and strong agility numbers for a big man, and Cincinnati later labeled him an “Iron Bearcat” for winter 2024 weight-room performance. He entered UC as a highly regarded Ohio recruit and, while his game profile is built more on movement, versatility, and work ethic than box-score glamour, that combination suggests a player who can fit a program valuing development, physicality, and culture.
