Louisville Football recently added Vince Marrow as the program's new general manager. Marrow was with the Cardinals' in-state rival, the Kentucky Wildcats, for 12 years, and his biggest role included serving as the program's recruiting coordinator.
Marrow has a tremendous resume, as he helped bring the Kentucky Wildcats football program back to relevance once he began recruiting for Mark Stoops. The Cardinals faithful are thrilled to have Marrow as their new GM for many reasons, but his ability to recruit elite 4-star and big-time prospects is why this hire is program-changing.
Well, Marrow appeared on 93.9 The Ville this morning, and while he had many one-liners that should fire up this fan base, his quote about his ability to recruit and the future of Louisville football with him and Brohm working together will have fans ready to run through a brick wall.

Vince Marrow just fired up Louisville football fans with this bold promise
While Marrow was at Kentucky, he was able to pitch the Wildcats' program to elite prospects, earning commitments from multiple 4-star recruits. During his 12 years with Stoops, he secured 66 4-star commitments, with 14 of those elite recruits ranked as top 200 prospects. He also earned five commitments ranked in the top 100, resulting in all 12 of his recruiting classes being ranked in the top 50 in the nation.
Marrow's best recruiting class came a few years ago, as his 2022 recruiting class was ranked No. 14 nationally. He had four recruiting classes classified in the top 25.
The new Cardinals GM went on air, and when he discussed the future of this program and his ability to recruit, the Cardinals faithful will be excited about what this guy is going to bring to the program.
"With Jeff Brohm I can recruit to him and it’s a lot to offer," Marrow stated. "Sometimes I didn’t have much to sell certain years and still brought in 4-stars, high 4 star players, but this is easy. This will be real easy to sell. And I think I can do it with the best."Vince Marrow
This quote is everything that the Cardinals faithful wants to hear. The promise that it would be easy to sell to 4-star recruits, backed by his track record of success and his confidence in claiming he would be one of the best in the nation, set this program up for success, is exactly why Brohm stole him from Kentucky.
The Cardinals will now be a program that should attract elite 4-stars, and possibly even some 5-stars, with one of the best recruiters on their staff.

Marrow's bold promise has the Cardinal's social media pages buzzing this offseason, immediately sparking excitement among fans. Louisville has a big offseason ahead, and hopefully, he can get right to work and land some big-time names in the 2026 cycle.
