Four-star quarterback Jack Sorgi has announced his decision to decommit from the University of Louisville, leaving the program searching for their next starting signal-caller. Sorgi, a standout at Tri-West High School, was Louisville's first commitment in the 2027 recruiting class but has now reopened his recruitment after expressing interest in his dad's alma mater, the University of Wisconsin.

Why it matters

Sorgi's decommitment is a significant loss for Louisville's 2027 recruiting class, which was shaping up to be one of the best in program history. As a highly-ranked quarterback prospect, Sorgi's decision to back out of his pledge creates a void the Cardinals must now fill as they look to build for the future.

The details

In a recent interview, Sorgi cited his interest in Wisconsin's offense and his meetings with the Badgers' coaching staff as factors in his decision to decommit from Louisville. The 169th-ranked player and 15th-best quarterback in the 2027 class, Sorgi is still considering both Louisville and Wisconsin, and plans to visit both programs during spring practices.

  • Sorgi committed to Louisville nearly a year ago.
  • Sorgi recently visited Wisconsin and expressed interest in the Badgers' program.
  • Sorgi plans to visit both Louisville and Wisconsin during spring practices.

What they’re saying

“I watched some of the quarterbacks throw, and I had some meetings with the coaches, and the way they talked about the offense, and how my high school offense was very similar. Met with Coach (Jeff) Grimes, the offensive coordinator, and loved everything he said. I just feel like I would fit very well in that offense.”
