CINCINNATI - Will it be baseball or football? Is the University of Cincinnati the destination or somewhere else? Those are two lingering questions for Joe Oakes. At 6-4 and 254 pounds, the Indian Hills junior certainly has size for playing on the gridiron. After all, older brother Mick is a University of Cincinnati commit, the same college their father Patrick played football. Adding to the UC theme, their mother (Holly) was a volleyball player with the Bearcats while an uncle (Tim Oakes) played baseball at Cincinnati. “I definitely grew up going to UC for a lot of baseball, basketball and football games,” Oakes said. “But I’m looking for somewhere fresh, that would be good for me. If it happens I end up at Cincinnati, I’ll take it if the opportunity is there and it’s a good fit.” |
