Louisville football gets commitment from German offensive lineman

Bobby Petrino's 15th commitment from the class of 2017 might be his most intriguing yet.

Gerrik Vollmer, who was the starting left tackle on the German National Team and an exchange student in West Virginia last season, committed to Louisville on Saturday. The 6'5, 280-pound lineman attended camp at U of L last month.
