Photo Courtesy of Quen Head’s Twitter Account (@quen_42) Coach Petrino likes to have LBs that are versatile. Guys that can do multiple things well so that they are useful in multiple ways. Quen Head, a 6’2 215 lbs OLB, fits the mold and signed his Letter of Intent. Head is a speedy OLB. When watching…
Photo Courtesy of Jatavious Harris’ Twitter Account (@screamtaaye) Thank you Tennessee for the gift of Jatavious Harris. Coach Petrino may have signed his very own Devante Parker. The UofL receiving corps should be special for years to come with Harris in the fold. The 6’3 184 lbs Harris is tall and athletic. Speed is a…
Photo Courtesy of Allen Love’s Twitter Account (@rfy_55) Coach Petrino did a great job in filling a big need with big DT Allen Love joining UofL. To get a guy with so much potential so late in the game is a huge coup for UofL. Love is a big, but athletic 6’3 285 lbs DT….
Photo Courtesy of Nigel Kilby’s Twitter Account (@NigelKilby_82) TEs are very important in Coach Petrino’s offense. He likes athletic, pass catchers. He got an excellent TE for his system with the signing of JUCO player Nigel Kilby. Kilby, at 6’8 and 250 lbs, is gigantic and athletic. Though he can be an effective blocker, his…
Photo Courtesy of Tyler Harrell’s Twitter Account (@EasyMoneyTy_) Coach Petrino loves speedy WRs. This class has a few. One of them is Tyler Harrell; a 6’1 175 lbs speed demon. Tyler Harrell is a good route runner with great hands. He uses his hands when catching the ball rather than his body. His main weapon…

Jaire Alexander has chosen to forego his senior year and enter the 2018 NFL Draft. He has chosen not to play in the UofL’s upcoming bowl game. Jaire has been an unbelievable player in his 3 years here. None of us fans will ever forget the electrifying punt return TD he had against Florida State…
Photo Courtesy of Hassan Hall’s Twitter Account (@_sayblackboy) Coach Petrino picked up a highly versatile player for this class in Hassan Hall. Hall was previously committed to Syracuse before Coach swept in and grabbed him. Hall played multiple positions both offensively and defensively in high school. It looks as though UofL is eyeing him as…
Photo Courtesy of Andrew Ivins/247sports.com Miami made a late push to try to steal Jared Goldwire from UofL. Fortunately, UofL was able to get him signed. Goldwire could be a great player for UofL. Coming out of high school, Goldwire was a DE. After going JUCO, he has grown into an interior DT. He’s got…
Photo Courtesy of Adonis Boone’s Twitter Account (@Ajb1_) Adonis Boone, as it stands, is the only OL in this class. That could change by the time February rolls around, but Petrino found a brutein the 6’5 285 lbs Boone. As a run blocker, he is devastating. Watching him hit a defender is like watching a…
Photo Courtesy of Robert Hicks’ Twitter Account (@1_JetSet) Robert Hicks III is one of UofL’s highest rated recruits in this class. The LB from Miami powerhouse Central High School is 4 Star Under Armour All-American and is worthy of that ranking. At 6’2 230 lbs, Hicks appears to be physically ready to step in and…
Photo Courtesy of Trenell Troutman’s Twitter Account (@FlyyNell) Trenell Troutman was an excellent edition during this early signing period for UofL. Many Safeties are one dimensional. Either they are ball hawks that are great in coverage or hitters that are great in the box. Troutman is a safety that can do both. UofL may use…
Photo Courtesy of Jordan Travis’ Twitter Account (@JTravis10) 3 Star QB Jordan Travis signed his Letter of Intent to play football at UofL. UofL got a player that appears to be a steal. The 6’2 185 lbs Travis has moves like Lamar Jackson as a runner, but he’s a much more polished passer. Imagine combining…
Photo Courtesy of Thurman Geathers’ Twitter Account (@TJTherm) UofL signed another DL for this class. Unlike the others who are versatile and can line up inside or outside, Thurman Geathers is definitely a DE, but could possibly bean OLB Geathers is a tall, lanky 6’3 218 lbs and primarily plays in a 3 point stance….
Photo Courtesy of Dejmi Dumervil Jean’s Twitter Account (@kingdez1k) UofL signed a legacy recruit in Dejmi “Dez” Dumervil Jean. He’s the nephew of UofL legend “Kool” Elvis Dumervil. Unlike his Uncle, who used superior speed and pass rush moves, Dez is a giant who uses brutal power. At 6’5 367 lbs, Dumervil Jean is a…
Photo Courtesy of Yasir Abdullah’s Twitter Account (@AbYasiir) Louisville as a whole has been looking to add more speed. The signing of Yasir Abdullah goes a long way in accomplishing that goal. Yasir played high school football as Carol City in Miami, Florida. Yasir, mostly played OLB but isnt afraid of putting his hands on…
Photo Courtesy of Telly Plummer’s Twitter Account (@tempp16) UofL signed CB Telly Plummer out of GA. With the departures that the secondary will have, Petrino loaded up on DBs. Plummer may be the most underrated player in the class. At 6′ 185, his size is excellent for the position. Plummer is a cover corner. From…
Photo Courtesy of Marcus Riley’s Twitter Account (@PrimeeTimee2) Marcus Riley is an interesting recruit in this class for Coach Petrino. They list him as an ATH and with good reason. After watching his film, I saw him play 4 different positions; WR, QB, Safety, and CB. It’s obvious why UofL wanted him; they coveted his…
