LOUISVILLE, Ky. - On the heels of the first full recruiting cycle under head coach Jeff Brohm, the Louisville football program is gearing up for another notable recruiting class in the 2025 cycle. So far, the Cardinals boast a Class of 2024 that ranks as high as the No. 46 class in the nation according to 247Sports.

While that ranking is a bit behind what Louisville was around this time last year, there is a lot of behind-the-scenes momentum building up. The Cardinals are in the mix for multiple upper-tier prospects in the class, which has a high likelihood of coming to a head through the summer and all the way up until the early signing period.

School: Murray (Ky.) HS
Top Offers: Kentucky, Murray State, Nebraska
247Sports Composite Rating (Nat'l Rank): 0.8728 (668th)

Vitals: 6-foot-0, 190 pounds
School: Miami (Fla.) Central
Top Offers: Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Nebraska, Penn State
247Sports Composite Rating (Nat'l Rank): 0.8861 (435th)
