Louisville feels pressure from Deion Sanders as Colorado pushes to flip elite RB

Louisville football is in a recruiting battle with Deion Sanders and Colorado University as Jeff Brohm and the Cardinals are fighting to keep their 3-star hidden gem, Lekhy Thompkins.

The Cardinals received some concerning news on Monday morning that the star running back received an offer from Colorado and will even take a visit out to Sanders. The Cards earned Thompkins' commitment back in May 2024 after the 3-star committed to Louisville over Memphis and Minnesota.

Now, Louisville is fighting to keep him part of their 2026 recruiting class, especially after they lost Kentucky native and 4-star running back Evan Hampton.
