Louisville football recently was able to flip a 3-star linebacker from West Virginia over to the Cardinals after they hosted him for a gameday visit in Week 1 against Eastern Kentucky. The former Mountaineer commit decided to flip his commitment to Louisville Sunday afternoon, and is now the 23rd commitment in the 2026 recruiting class.
Taj Powell is ranked as high as No. 908 in the nation and the No. 73 linebacker in the 2026 recruiting class. The Cardinals hosted over 80 recruits in Week 1 and are now hoping a few more will follow after this big-time flip by Vince Marrow.
