Live Updates: Louisville Football's 2023 Early Signing Period

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The 2023 Early Signing Period is finally here. Between Wednesday, Dec. 20 and Friday, Dec. 22, Class of 2024 recruits have the option to preemptively sign with the schools to which they have committed to before the traditional National Signing Day in February.

Louisville will be no exception, as they are expected to sign a majority of - if not all - their current 2024 commits on the first day of the Early Signing Period.

Like last year, this cycle's crop of newcomers is expected to be a healthy mix of high school prospects and Division I transfers. When everything is said and done, Louisville is expected to sign all 14 scholarship high school commitments during the Early Signing Period alone.
