Dayton native Marcus Freeman, Cincinnati Bearcats football team join cleanup effort

The storms that hit the Dayton area wrought terrible damage — but also great compassion.

The University of Cincinnati football team joined many individuals and groups (including the Bearcats' rivals from Miami University) to lend helping hands this week as a group led by Marcus Freeman made the trip up I-75 on Friday to help clean up debris in Trotwood.

Freeman starred at Wayne High School before being a three-year starter at linebacker for Ohio State.

Now he is the defensive coordinator for the Bearcats and considered a key recruiter for head coach Luke Fickell.
