LOUISVILLE, Ky. - On top of the on-field momentum that the Louisville football program has generated since Jeff Brohm took over as the head coach, they have done a masterful job off the field. The Cardinals were able to salvage most of their 2023 recruiting class, inked a top-40 2024 class, and have had top-two portal classes in both offseasons.

Some of that momentum has carried over into the Class of 2025,landing a handful of commitments in the cycle up to this point. Louisville has hosted a few official visitors over the last few weeks, but with the summer months now here, the rubber is starting to meet the road on the recruiting front.

Starting today, Louisville will be hosting multiple 2025 prospects for official visits over the next four weekends. For the weekend of May 31, 14 recruits will be on campus, according to 247Sports.

The recruiting weekend is highlighted by a pair of prospects who are regarded as four-star recruits according to the 247Sports Composite. Miami (Fla.) Booker T. Washington cornerback Ben Hanks Jr. ranks just outside the top-100 nationally, while Highland Home (Ala.) HS edge/ATH C.J. May ranks just outside the top-300.

Two of the prospects planning on visiting are those already committed to Louisville. Both Buford (Ga.) HS wide receiver Jordan Allen and Wapakoneta (Oh.) HS tight end Grant Houser will be making the trip.
