Louisville has officially entered the recruitment race for one of the top offensive line prospects in the 2027 class. Reed Ramsier, a highly regarded lineman from The First Academy in Orlando, Florida, received a scholarship offer from the Cardinals this week. Ramsier is listed in the Top247 rankings and is already drawing national attention for his size, skill, and potential.
The offer came shortly after a visit from Louisville tight ends coach Richard Owens. His in-person evaluation and interest in Ramsier prompted the program to extend an official offer, showing how serious Louisville is about strengthening its future offensive line. Owens’ visit suggests the Cardinals are targeting top-tier talent early in the recruiting cycle.
Ramsier, who stands at 6-foot-5 and weighs 305 pounds, has been turning heads with his powerful presence and technique in the trenches. While still early in his high school career, his combination of size and skill has already made him one of the more sought-after interior linemen in the 2027 recruiting class. Colleges are clearly taking notice.
Louisville’s interest reflects a broader trend among major programs that are aggressively pursuing elite linemen earlier than ever. As teams look to build depth and stability in the trenches, securing commitments from rising prospects like Ramsier becomes a key part of long-term roster planning.
Although this is just the beginning of Ramsier’s recruitment, the offer from Louisville adds another major program to his growing list of suitors. With multiple seasons of high school football still ahead, he’ll have plenty of opportunities to continue developing while weighing his collegiate options.
