IMG_6080 3by: William McDermott12/03/25804derm

The 2025 Early Signing Day period officially kicked off this morning, with Jeff Brohm and Louisville expected to sign 21 high schoolers to its 2026 recruiting class.

This story will be updated throughout the three-day signing period (Dec. 3 to Dec. 5). A second signing day period will also open in February.

Louisville has already picked up one flip, that of Valdosta (Ga.) IOL Benjamin Corhei, and just days ago, added a playmaking safety, Jordan Vann, who was originally committed to Michigan State. As of 10:30 AM EST, Louisville has signed both.

So, who else has signed their national letter of intent to join the Cardinals football program?
