Massive Commitment: DE CJ May Commits to Louisville Cardinals, Explains His Reasons for Joining

May, one of the top defensive prospects in the nation, made the announcement on social media, sparking excitement among Cardinals fans and coaches alike.
The 6-foot-4, 260-pound May is a highly sought-after recruit known for his explosive first step, physicality, and ability to disrupt opposing offenses. His decision to choose Louisville over several other high-profile programs marks a significant victory for head coach Jeff Brohm and his staff, who have been working tirelessly to build a competitive and dynamic roster.
May’s commitment to Louisville comes after months of careful consideration and visits to multiple schools. Despite offers from top-tier programs, he ultimately decided that the Cardinals provided the best fit for his development both as a player and as a person.
“Louisville has everything I’m looking for in a program,” May explained in his commitment statement. “From the coaching staff to the culture they’ve built, I feel like it’s the best place for me to develop my game and take it to the next level. Coach Brohm and the staff have been incredibly welcoming, and I trust their vision for me and this team. I’m excited to be a part of something special here.”
May’s decision to commit to Louisville is a reflection of the program’s growing momentum under Brohm’s leadership. The Cardinals have made significant strides in recent seasons, with Brohm leading the team to several notable victories and building a competitive squad that is primed for future success. With May’s addition to the defensive line, the Cardinals have solidified their efforts to improve both their pass rush and overall defensive presence.
Defensively, May is expected to make an immediate impact. His quickness off the edge, combined with his strength and ability to shed blockers, will add a dynamic element to the Cardinals’ front seven. Many analysts believe May has the potential to be a difference-maker in his first season, especially in key pass-rush situations.
“I’ve always wanted to play in a defense that is aggressive and plays fast, and Louisville definitely has that,” May continued. “I want to contribute immediately and help bring this team to the next level. I’m also looking forward to competing in the ACC, where the level of play is high, and I know I’ll have the chance to showcase my skills against some of the best teams in the country.”
The commitment of CJ May is just one of several high-profile recruits that Brohm and his staff have secured, signaling that Louisville is on the rise as a football powerhouse in the ACC. With May’s commitment, the Cardinals are poised to continue their upward trajectory and compete for championships in the years to come.
Louisville fans can look forward to watching May on the field next season as he brings his talents to one of college football’s most exciting programs.
