Louisville got a literal massive commitment today when Tawfiq Thomas announced his pledge to UofL. Thomas lists himself at 6-5/325 and he definitely looks that big when you watch him play. The three-star nose tackle from Florida committed to Lousiville over offers from Iowa State, Michigan, Kansas, Cincy, Miami, Maryland, IU, and others. The big defensive lineman was present for Louisville’s big recruiting weekend last week for the Clemson game.
Louisville has worked to remake their defensive line over the last two recruiting classes but the nose tackle position hasn’t had the returns that they would like. On top of that, they have struggled to find a big man in the middle who fits what they do.
