Louisville Football Recruiting: Four-star Cornerback Russ Yeast Commits

Last week it was four-star running back Colin Wilson.This week, it's four-star wide receiver/cornerback Russ Yeast. Louisville entered October with its recruiting class of 2017 nearly complete. With just a few spots left, the Cardinals hoped to add elite players at cornerback, linebacker, running back, and defensive line. Monday, they took another step toward that goal. Yeast, a former Kentucky commit and son of former Kentucky star Craig Yeast, picked Louisville over recent heavy pursuit by Iowa and Auburn. He committed to the Cardinals after taking an official visit for Louisville's game against NC State on Saturday. He also listed offers from Ole Miss, Nebraska, and Cincinnati.
