Selah Brown gives Cardinals 7 commits
With the addition of Selah Brown, Louisville now has seven commitments in this cycle.
It was widely known that Louisville was going to sign a relatively small 2022 recruiting class because of the way its roster is structured. The small class is offensive heavy with around 40 days left until the start of the early signing period.
On the offensive side of the ball, the headliner is quarterback Khalib Johnson of Pinson (Ala.) Clay-Chalkville. Johnson ranks as the No. 36 quarterback in the country in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
Offensive tackle Izaiah Reed of Jackson (Tenn.) North Side and receiver Chance Morrow out of Charlotte (N.C.) West Charlotte are high three-stars heading to Louisville.
Louisville’s top overall commitment is from On3 Consensus four-star EDGE Popeye Williams out of Westfield, Ind. Williams is the No. 9 player in Indiana and the 39th-best EDGE in the country, according to the On3 Consensus.
