Malachi Brown - DL
And lastly, the top recruit that Louisville has a high chance of getting after earning Allen Evans' commitment is the 4-star defensive lineman, Malachi Brown. The Corbin native attends Corbin High School and is ranked among the best defensive linemen, earning up to 16 offers from powerhouse programs such as Alabama, Tennessee, Ohio State, and Miami. Also in the mix for the 4-star defensive lineman are in-state rivals Kentucky, Indiana, and Vanderbilt.
Louisville was able to host an unofficial visit from the Kentucky native in November 2025, while Tennessee, Alabama, Nebraska, and Ohio State also hosted unofficial visits. With Louisville earning Allen Evans' commitment, Brown becomes one of the Cards' top priorities now, as Louisville will look to earn his commitment over SEC and Big 10 giants.
Brown ranks as high as the No. 100 overall recruit in the 2027 recruiting class, the No. 11 defensive lineman, and the No. 2 recruit out of Kentucky. According to On3 Sports' predictions, Louisville has the highest chance of earning his commitment at 29.7 percent, with Ohio State right behind at 26.0 percent and Nebraska at 22.3 percent.
