The best recruiting class ever for University of Louisville football is all but signed and sealed.

The latest commitment came Tuesday during a visit at the home of Sheldon Rankins, one of the top defensive prospects in Georgia, standing in at 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds.

Rankins plans to study pre-med in college, and hopes to be an orthopedic surgeon, according to a recent report in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He has a 3.5 GPA, crediting his mother’s influence. “She’s a sixth-grade math teacher, so education always, always, always comes first,” Rankins said.

He’s had scholarship offers from all over, including North Carolina, South Florida, Mississippi State, Boston college, NC State, Stanford, Nebraska, Vanderbilt, Illinois, Indiana, Ole Miss, Duke, Arkansas State, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, Maryland, Kentucky, and Cincinnati.
