Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder will remain with the Bearcats for his senior season in 2021.

“There is still unfinished business,” Ridder said in a video posted Friday to Twitter. “I’ll be back in the red and black for my final season.”
Ridder completed 66.2 percent of his passes for 2,296 yards, 19 touchdowns and six interceptions and rushed for 592 yards and 12 scores in 2020.
