Nick Lautar, a promising tight end from Lebanon High School in Ohio, is now looking to schedule an official visit to the University of Louisville following a key development in his recruitment. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound prospect had previously visited Louisville in March, during which he expressed strong interest in the program and a desire to earn a scholarship offer.
That offer officially arrived on Thursday when Louisville tight ends coach Ryan Wallace extended Lautar a scholarship. The Cardinals became the 19th program to offer Lautar, adding to a growing list of schools competing for the talented pass-catcher’s commitment.
Lautar’s size and skill set have made him an intriguing target for several college programs. His combination of length, athleticism, and route-running ability has helped him stand out on the recruiting trail, especially as more schools look to bolster their tight end depth with versatile, pass-catching threats.
With Louisville now firmly in the mix, Lautar is hoping to arrange an official visit to get a closer look at the program. That visit would give him a better sense of the campus, coaching staff, and overall fit with the team’s offensive system — key factors in what could be a pivotal decision in his recruitment.
As the summer recruiting period picks up, Lautar is expected to continue evaluating his options. Louisville’s recent offer has positioned the Cardinals as a serious contender, and the upcoming visit could play a major role in determining whether the Ohio native ends up wearing red and black at the next level.
