Louisville Football Gearing Up for Another Huge Recruiting Weekend

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Roughly a month ago, the Louisville football held one of the biggest recruiting weekends in the history of the program. They hosted several dozen prospects, many of whom were among the best in the nation, which then resulted in a string of commitments to wrap up the 2022 class and jump start the 2023 cycle.

Now, the Cardinals are doing it again.

Starting on Friday, Mar. 4, Louisville will again be hosting a few dozen prospects this weekend, with Louisville Report confirming a total of 35 prospects that will be in town. Like the last group, they will tour the campus and football facilities, and will also attend Saturday's men's basketball regular season finale vs. Virginia.

Two Louisville commits will be participating in the weekend's activities: Westfield (Ind.) HS defensive end Popeye Williams and Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco quarterback Pierce Clarkson.

The program is hosting a handful of top tier talent this weekend, as ten of the visitors are ranked inside the 247Sports Composite Top 400. This includes Los Alamitos (Calif.) HS wide receiver DeAndre Moore and Douglasville (Ga.) South Paulding offensive tackle Madden Sanker, who are both top 100 prospects.

This will be a return visit to Louisville for many of the prospects, including Moore, Clarkson and St. John Bosco teammate wide receiver Jahlil McClain, New Palestine (Ind.) HS offensive tackle Luke Burgess, Lovejoy (Tex.) HS wide receiver Kyle Parker and several others.

While most of the prospects will be visiting Louisville in an unofficial capacity, two will be taking their official visits: Jacksonville State transfer safety Nicario Harper and Middle Tennessee State transfer cornerback Quincy Riley
