Bears Busy Lining up June Official Visits

With spring ball in the books and staff on the road for May player evals, the Bears will host a great number of their '23 targets on official visits in June.

Last season, their June official visits yielded a big crop of early commits, including DE Nate Burrell‍, OLB Curlee Thomas‍, fellow OLB Nunie Tuitele‍ and OG Sioape Vatikani‍. Several other June visitors eventually jumped in the boat, including Jackson Brown‍, Ashton Hayes‍, Trent Ramsey‍, Jaydn Ott‍ and Jaiven Plummer‍.

Here’s a rundown of who’s locked in official visits. As more OVs are announced, they’ll be added to the story.
