The Bengals’ rookie minicamp roster is taking shape.
Per multiple reports, the Cincinnati Bengals have added LSU running back Noah Cain and Illinois State tight end Cam Grandy as undrafted free agents.
Cain, a 5-foot-11 Baton Rouge (LA) native, started his college career at Penn State, spending the 2019-21 seasons in State College.
As a freshman in 2019, he ran for 443 yards and eight touchdowns for Penn State, but in 2020, he suffered a season-ending injury just one drive into the Nittany Lions season.
In 2021, he played in all 13 games, rushing for 350 yards and four touchdowns while catching 19 passes for 114 yards.
Ahead of the 2022 season, he transferred to his hometown team of LSU. In his debut season with the Tigers, he played in all 14 games, rushing for 409 yards and 10 touchdowns while adding nine catches for 74 yards.
This past season, he played in all 13 games, rushing for 181 yards and three scores.
Grandy, a 6-foot-5, 260-pound tight end, started his college career at Missouri Western and transferred to Illinois State ahead of the 2023 season. In his lone season with the Redbirds, the Benson (IL) native caught 63 passes for 622 yards and three scores.
The duo joins an undrafted free agent class that also includes Northern Illinois quarterback Rocky Lombardi, Indiana linebacker Aaron Casey, Oklahoma State running back Elijah Collins, and Louisville offensive tackle Eric Miller, among several others.
They’ll also join the Bengals draft class of Georgia’s Amarius Mims, Michigan’s Kris Jenkins, Alabama’s Jermaine Burton, Texas A&M’s McKinnley Jackson, Iowa’s Erick All, TCU’s Josh Newton, Arizona’s Tanner McLachlan, Ole Miss’ Cedric Johnson, Ole Miss’ Daijahn Anthony, and Miami’s Matt Lee at Rookie Mini Camp.
