WEST HARRISON, Indiana – Jets approaching or departing Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport often fly over the fields in Indiana where the Cincinnati Bearcats hold training camp near the state line.
Most Bearcats on the roster have flown to and from NCAA football games. Some fly on the field with the jet propulsion possessed only by unique Division I athletes.
Redshirt senior Braden Smith is a frequent flier.
The recent Louisville transfer says his last recorded time in the 40-yard dash is 4.4 seconds, certified lightning quick. His most impressive certification though is off the field and in the air.
