Louisville football is set to kick off the summer with a massive recruiting weekend, as the Cardinals are scheduled to welcome nine recruits. Louisville will have key visits from 4-star Kaydon Finnley and Kentucky's best-remaining recruit, Josiah Hope.

Finnley is ranked as high as No. 111 in the 2026 class, and Hope is ranked as the 4th-best recruit from Kentucky. Louisville has secured commitments from three of the top five recruits in the state of Kentucky, making Hope a significant target to dominate the state.

Louisville also learned that they will earn a visit from the Boise State commit and 3-star cornerback Terrious Favors.

The Cardinals will look to flip this hidden gem from the Broncos to the Cardinals after their key visit this weekend. Favors is regarded as a 3-star cornerback and is ranked No. 1,003 in the 2026 class and is regarded as the 54th cornerback in the cycle.

Favors has earned over 17 offers, including those from elite programs such as Georgia, SMU, Georgia Tech, Tulane, and, of course, Boise State. The 3-star has visits scheduled with Louisville this weekend, Boise State on June 7, and also with Tulane on June 20.

The 5-foot-10, 160-pound corner is an elite two-way player, as he has logged 1,812 all-purpose yards and 15 receiving touchdowns on the offensive side. On the defensive side, he has logged 64 total tackles, 10 interceptions, and 14 pass breakups. Last season, in his junior year, he secured 38 receptions for 843 yards and 12 touchdowns, earning him a spot on the first-team all-state.

Favors committed to Boise State back in January 2025, but since that commitment, the Cardinals have pushed heavily for the 3-star recruit. Brohm and his staff made their offer on March 3 and then earned an unofficial visit two weeks later. Now, the Cardinals will earn their first official visit, and hopefully, it will end on a positive note with a commitment.
