Just Askin’: Which Cincinnati Bengals players are from Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana?
The Enquirer’s Just Askin’ series aims to answer the questions that no one seems to have an answer for, not even Google.
Here in Cincinnati, we like to keep our talent local. Our athletes are no exception.
You’ve already heard the story of Cincinnati Reds legend Pete Rose, a West Sider who went on to become the all-time MLB hit king while playing for his hometown baseball team. Avondale native DeHart Hubbard became the first Black athlete to win an Olympic gold medal when he won the long jump in the 1924 games. More recently, former Moeller High School football star Sam Hubbard is hailed as a cornerstone of the Cincinnati Bengals’ defensive line, nabbing eight tackles in the nail-biting Super Bowl of 2022.
In honor of football season, The Enquirer is honing in on our local NFL team. Which Bengals are Tristate heroes?

Hardley Gilmore returns to Kentucky Football
A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.
After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.
When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.
With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.

Watch: Blast brings down Northern Kentucky bridge
COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) – The Licking River Bridge was demolished Monday morning in a controlled blast, clearing the way for a replacement structure.
Authorities established a 1,000-foot safety perimeter, closed nearby roads and asked residents to shelter in place before the demolition. The bridge collapsed within seconds of the blast.
“Today we say goodbye to a bridge that has served Kentuckians for nearly a century and we make room for something new. A signature bridge that is safer, stronger and we make room for something new,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “This region, like the rest of the commonwealth, is evolving, it is booming, it’s economy growing every day. What we’re doing together is building our new Kentucky home.”
The Licking River Bridge is now history after crews brought it down with a controlled demolition Monday morning. (WKRC)
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
Crews will begin construction on the new bridge after debris removal is complete. The replacement bridge is expected to open in the summer of 2028.
