Following a weekend that saw a ton of prospects check out Jeff Brohm's program, the Cardinals have cashed in on two commitments since Sunday.

First, Palmetto (FL) linebacker Caleb Matelau announced in favor of the Cards, fresh off of his official visit.

Matelau picked Louisville over offers from South Florida, Pittsburgh, and Indiana.

On Monday evening, Louisville once again added to the 2025 clas in the form of Hammond (IN) wideout Lebron Hill. Hill recently picked up offers from Kentucky and Miami and chose Louisville over a host of Power Five options.

Just 11 days ago, Rivals National Recruiting Analyst Greg Smith had this to say about the 6-foot-5 pass catcher:

After seeing Hill at three different events this summer I’ve seen enough to say that it’s just a matter of time before his recruitment goes to another level. He’s not a burner but at 6-foot-5, 180-pounds he’s a great route runner. He also uses his body well to shield defenders to make contested catches.

As of right now, Purdue and Louisville are on the schedule to receive official visits. So it makes sense to go with a prediction to one of those schools. The safe pick is Purdue right now. However, Miami and Kentucky are in position to get an official visit from the Indiana native.

I’m going to pick an upset here and say Kentucky lands the talented pass catcher.

Prediction: Kentucky

Louisville will look to capitalize on this momentum, and sit in good standing with several other prospects who were on campus over the weekend.
