Louisville football: Five local prospects you need to know

Louisville football is beginning to round its 2021 recruiting class into shape, and it starts with the state of Kentucky. Here are five local players who would be great additions.

There are a lot of unknowns heading into the 2020 Louisville football season. We could be looking at some sort of postponement of summer camp and/ or the season as a whole.

Recruiting isn’t much better for the Cards. Coaches are not allowed to meet players in person, making visits and commitments a tough task.

Still, Scott Satterfield and the Louisville football coaching staff are making the most of what they have to work with on the recruiting trail and narrowing in on some top targets.

One thing that we have placed an emphasis on in this recruiting cycle is Louisville being able to take back its home turf and develop relationships with local schools, coaches, and recruits. Though things were tough starting out for the new coaching staff given some of the bridges that were burned in previous tenures, the new staff has been able to win back the good faith of local recruits and they are in on some top targets in a strong class for Kentucky high school football.

Let’s take a look at some of the top recruits for the Cardinals in the state of Kentucky. These are five local names that you need to know as Louisville football heads into the meat of the 2021 recruiting cycle.
