Louisville’s 2023 recruiting class already had some big pieces heading into the week, but the Cardinals made a huge move Monday evening when five-star running back Rueben Owens of El Campo (Texas) High announced his commitment.
That isn’t a commitment. That is a statement.
Rated the No. 16 overall player and the No. 1 running back in the 2023 class in the 247Sports Composite, Owens took an official visit to Louisville the weekend before his commitment. After he committed, he posted on Twitter that he won’t be taking any more visits — other than to Louisville.
Before the weekend, Owens was thought to be most strongly considering in-state schools like Texas (where he was once committed), Texas A&M and TCU. There seems to be this prevailing thought that this commitment will lead to drama down the road — you know, visits to more top-tier programs during the season — but for now, Owens seems steadfast in his commitment that shocked the world.
If he remains committed, Owens will be the second-highest-rated player to sign with Louisville in the modern recruiting era, behind former NFL running back Michael Bush (Class of 2003).
Louisville has done a tremendous job with its official visits in the last year. In a world in which elaborate photo shoots have taken center stage, Louisville has mastered the art of showing prospects a good time. This weekend, the Cardinals used expensive cars and private jets as props for the visiting prospects.
One of the centerpieces of Louisville’s class is four-star Pierce Clarkson of Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco, the No. 199 overall player and the No. 10 quarterback in the country. Clarkson, the son of well-known quarterbacks coach Steve Clarkson, has been doing everything in his power to bring top talent to Louisville and has helped the staff earn commitments from Owens and four-star receiver DeAndre Moore Jr. of Los Alamitos (Calif.) High.
Louisville’s 2023 class includes four top-200 players and 10 commitments overall. It ranks No. 11 nationally.
