Though a concerted effort has been made from the new Louisville football coaching staff, the Cards are still struggling to land big name in-state recruits.
After a 2019 class where Louisville’s highest ranked in-state recruit was No. 12 Aidan Robbins, the coaching staff continues to make recruiting locally a top priority.
Still, it appears that the staff will have to exercise patience and play the long game on the road to success in Kentucky. The Cards have missed on four of their last five local recruits. Offensive lineman John Young, receiver Izayah Cummings, and athlete Jordan Watkins- who all attend Louisville high schools- chose Kentucky over the Cards.
