Charlie Strong never quits angling for recruits, and he goes for big ones.

His latest catch is De’Antre Rhodes, a four-star defensive tackle. He has signed a letter of intent with the University of Louisville and will be eligible to play during the 2010 football season.

The 6-foot-3, 285-pound native of Richmond, Va., visited the Louisville football facilities earlier this week and attended the U of L-Notre Dame basketball game. He made his commitment Friday morning.

A one-time Virginia Tech commitment, he was rated the No.11 high school recruit in the country in his class, and was third-ranked among defensive defensive tackle in the country.

The word is the Louisville football coach still has another spot to fill. Stay tuned.

  1. Strong had been a highly respected assistant coach for Florida and it’s no surprise that he’s gathering a select group of football players for the Cards.

    Hopefully, they’ll live up to the lofty Scout and Rivals ratings. Spring practice ought to be a great time…for players and fans alike.

    De’Antre Rhodes is a big time score and will be a major addition to the Cards defensive front four…one of those guys where a redshirt season isn’t necessary.

    Be Strong, Louisville strong…

  2. I can’t believe the recruits Coach Strong has been able to get in such a short period of time..can’t wait to see how he fills that last spot. Man, oh man – can’t wait for football season to start – Go CARDS!!

  3. This is great catch, in fact, this could be called “manna from heaven” for Coach Strong and his Fighting Louisville Cardinals!.
