4-star OT Jarvis Strickland commits to Louisville

Paducah Tilghman (Ky.) four-star offensive tackle Jarvis Strickland has committed to Louisville.

A former Kentucky commit, Strickland is following new Cardinals general manager Vince Marrow to the other in-state Power Four program. He decommitted from the Wildcats on June 19.

Strickland is the No. 356 overall prospect and No. 28 OT in the 2026 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 2 player in the Bluegrass.

Upon Marrow’s departure from Lexington to Louisville, it became apparent that Strickland would be a top target for the ACC program. He backed off his pledge to UK shortly after and is now the boat for Marrow, head coach Jeff Brohm and the Cards.

The likes of Michigan, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Georgia Tech and Indiana have also offered Strickland throughout his recruitment. He now becomes a headlining member of the Cardinals’ 2026 class, alongside the likes of four-star cornerback Jaydin Broadnax, four-star quarterback Briggs Cherry and in-state four-star running back Evan Hampton.
