LOUISVILLE, Ky. - We're now in the midst of official visit season for recruiting in the Class of 2027, and the Louisville football program is off to a good start here. They hosted 20 prospects last weekend, most of whom were previously committed to UofL, with one uncommitted visitor publicly pulling the trigger shortly afterwards.

Now, Louisville is gearing up for another round of official visits.

For the weekend of June 5 - the second of three straight weekends where the Cardinals will be hosting prospects - seven recruits plan on making the trip to campus, according to 247Sports.

Last weekend, Louisville was able to get all but one of their previously committed 2027 prospects on campus. This weekend, the one who couldn't make it, West Chester (Oh.) Lakota West tight end Xavier Ratica, will be able to take his official visit.

The top-ranked prospect to be visiting this weekend is Seffner (Fla.) Armwood linebacker Theo Wilson. He was originally slated to visit North Carolina this weekend and then Louisville for the weekend of June 12, but moved up his visit to the Cardinals.

Another visitor is actually one who is committed elsewhere. Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Cypress Bay cornerback Jemari Foreman, who has been committed to Florida State since last September, will be on campus this weekend.

Of the remaining four prospects visiting, the most noteworthy is Owensboro (Ky.) Catholic quarterback Dre'Mail Carothers. Since Jack Sorgi's decommitment back in March, Carothers has since emerged as Louisville's top quarterback target in the cycle.
