Louisville football got their first commitment of the day as longtime Appalachian State commit Evan Conley announced he’s signing with the Cards.

Louisville Football, with only 14 scholarships for the 2019 signing class and only two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster, added a significant piece to its puzzle today as it inked the official commitment of Marietta, Georgia Quarterback Evan Conley.

Despite a verbal commitment to Appalachian State since June of this year, 3-star Quarterback Evan Conley of Marietta’s Kell High School signed with Louisville today, on the first day of the early signing period, per the football program’s official Twitter.

Rumors and speculation had been swirling in the halls and message boards of Appalachian State since their former Head Coach, Scott Satterfield accepted the same position at The University of Louisville two weeks ago. Today, December 19th was the first opportunity for recruits signing early into next years class to do so. It seems Conley wasted no time as the news broke around 8am EST.

The 6’1″, 205lb Conley is listed as a “Pro Style” Quarterback by most of the major recruiting services but a subjective look at the many videos of the Kells High School Senior show a great deal of mobility as well.

Conley who took his official school visit just 5 days ago, is certainly expected to come in and compete with the current lineup of Quarterbacks as well as with an additional freshman or JUCO transfer signee to sign later.

Louisville was Conley’s only “Power 5” Conference scholarship offer but Head Coach Scott Satterfield has certainly proven his eye for talent today. Conely is one of four former Appalachian state commits who is expected to sign with a “Power 5” team today, among them are UNC, Miami and Auburn.
