One of the top targets in Class 5A is headed to the Big 12 Conference.

Guntersville wide receiver Dadrien Waller has committed to play football at Cincinnati, he announced on social media Monday night.

The 2026 prospect picked Cincinnati over offers from Troy, Tulane, Jacksonville State, UAB, Western Kentucky, Samford and North Alabama.

A 6-foot-5, 200-pound wide receiver, Waller totaled 34 catches for 712 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 20.9 yards per catch last year for a Guntersville team that averaged 39.7 points per game.

The Wildcats ranked No. 6 in Class 5A in the final ASWA football poll, with their season ending in a first-round playoff loss at eventual semifinal team Leeds.

He also helped lead Guntersville’s boys’ basketball team to an appearance in the 2025 Class 5A state semifinals, scoring 10 points against Vigor.
