Class of 2021 TE Christian Pedersen commits to Louisville
The Louisville Football program has been trying to secure a second tight end in the current recruiting cycle ever since Vic Mullen gave his verbal pledge back in May, and on Sunday they finally got their guy.
After making his top three alongside Virginia & San Diego State, three-star Class of 2021 tight end Christian Pedersen announced that he would be committing to the Cardinals.
The Junipero Serra (CA) product stands tall at the line of scrimmage, listed at 6-foot-5 and 230-pounds. He is the No. 38 tight end in the Class of 2021 and the No. 72 prospect in the state of California according to 247Sports' in-house rankings.
With a frame as large as his, he is a natural blocker and regularly throws blocks that stop defenders dead in their tracks. He is also surprisingly nimble for a player of his stature, showing above average burst for a high school tight end.
