LOUISVILLE, Ky. – While there have been ups and down, the first three years of the Jeff Brohm era of the Louisville football program has still undeniably been a success. The Cardinals are 28-12 under Brohm, which includes an appearance in the ACC Championship Game, multiple wins vs. top-25 opponents (as well as Kentucky), and a bowl game winning streak.

Then when you add the fact that UofL has made efforts to bolster their recruiting department, such as adding Vince Marrow to the staff, and that on-field momentum is taking place on the recruiting front as well. So far, Louisville has landed 14 commitments in the Class of 2027, and it is on track to be the best class in program history, ranking No. 16 in the nation.

Now that summer is almost here, with it comes official visit season in football recruiting. As you can imagine, the Cardinals have plenty of visits lined up over the next month.

Starting today, Louisville will be hosting several dozen 2027 prospects for official visits over the next three weekends. For the weekend of May 29, 21 recruits will be on campus, according to 247Sports.

Brohm and Co. placed a massive emphasis on getting their currently committed prospects on campus for this weekend. In fact, 13 of them will be visiting this weekend, with the lone exception being West Chester (Oh.) Lakota West tight end Xavier Ratica – who will visit next weekend.

Of the eight uncommitted prospects taking visits, the headliner here is Lithonia (Ga.) HS running back A.J. Tillman Jr., who is a four-star prospect. Atlanta (Ga.) Westlake cornerback Khamani Estrada is another notable visitor, as he is a top-500 prospect.
