Louisville Football just hosted numerous recruits for their 502 BBQ event. Recruits from 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 unofficially visited the Ville to see the campus, meet the coaches, and get a feel for the program. Some of the visitors have already visited before and were simply continuing to strengthen their relationships with coaches.
Below, you will find a list of the visitors broken down by class year. Some may not have any rankings due to their class being so far in the future and recruiting services not ranking too far in the future.
