Class of 2022 RB Maurice Turner Commits to Louisville

DOUGLAS, Ga. - The recruiting trail has been relatively quiet over the last several weeks for the Louisville football program, but it picked right back up again on Monday.

Maurice Turner, a running back who plays for Coffee HS in Douglas, Ga., announced that he had given his verbal pledge to the Cardinals. He chose Louisville over Cincinnati, Tennessee, Western Kentucky, Coastal Carolina and others out of 15 total offers.

The 5-foot-10, 175-pound prospect ranks as high as the No. 85 recruit in the talent-rich state of Georgia according to 247Sports' in-house rankings, while the 247Sports Composite places him as the No. 1,124 prospect in the nation.

Turner was all over the field making plays during his junior season for Coffee. He rushed 97 times for 689 yards and 12 touchdowns, and even caught 42 passes for 712 yards and six touchdowns, totaling 1,774 total yards of offense and 18 touchdowns in 12 games. He helped guide the Trojans to a 10-3 record, as well as a berth in the Class 5A semifinals.

His commitment comes two months to the day after Louisville's last commitment - offensive lineman Izaiah Reed. The Cardinals now sport a seven-man '22 recruiting class, including Turner. He is Louisville's sixth offensive commit, with edge rusher Popeye Williams as the lone defensive commit.
