Louisville Football's Top Remaining Class of 2027 Targets

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Head coach Jeff Brohm and the Louisville football program are in the midst of an unprecedented recruiting run.

As of Wednesday, the Cardinals 2027 recruiting class ranks as the No. 6 class in the nation per the 247Sports Composite, behind only Oklahoma, Texas A&M, USC, Ohio State and Oregon. It's well on pace to be the best on-paper class in school, which was set by their 2023 class that ranked 23rd nationally.

Armed with Vince Marrow and a increase in revenue share/other NIL-related resources, Louisville has already secured multiple blue chip prospects, and they continue to be in the mix for a multitude of others in the cycle. With 13 commitments currently in the fold, who else are the Cards targeting?
