Here is a look at the additions to the Bengal 2012 roster.
Demetrius Oliver, 5-9, 170, DB Fr. Meridian, Idaho, Rocky Mountain High School
Kramer on Oliver
“He is a very quick footed, long armed corner with excellent track times and burst in quickness.”
Kyle Williams, 6-1, 207, DB, Fr. Auburn, Washington, Thomas Jefferson High School
Kramer on Williams
“We think he can compete for playing time right way. He is a strong, physical and extremely tough. He was highly recommended by coaches in this league even though his primary position was quarterback.”
Kevin Park, 6-4, 325, OL, Jr. Hutchinson Junior College, Hutchinson, Kansas
Kramer on Park
“He is a junior college offensive lineman with excellent academic credentials. He was a two year starter for one of the nation's toughest junior college leagues. We expect him to immediately bolster the interior part of our offensive line.”
Darius Williams, 5-11, 185, Fr. WR Columbus, Georgia, Carver High School
Kramer on Williams
“He is a fleet, quick footed smaller type of receiver. He comes from the national prep power house Carver High School in Columbus, Georgia, where he joins his ex-teammate,
Ed Pritchett.”
Josh Cook, 6-3, 235, Fr. TE, Santa Ana, Calif., Mater Dei High School
Kramer on Cook
“He fits the mold of a tight end we are looking for in this program. He is a decent blocker who can catch routes in space. We also expect him to contribute in 2012.”
