Maxey chose Louisville primarily over Alabama, Kansas State and Kentucky, but also held offers from Auburn, Florida State, Penn State, Pitt, SMU, Virginia Tech and others. He’s taken a few visits to UofL since being offered back in January, most recently during spring ball, and has an official visit with the Cardinals locked in for May 29.<\/p>\n
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound two-way player ranks as high as the No. 43 athlete in the 2027 cycle, and the 107th-ranked prospect in the talent-rich state of Florida, per On3\/Rivals’ in-house rankings. Maxey is ranked as the No. 810 recruit in the nation by the 247Sports Composite.<\/p>\n
A wide receiver on offense and a linebacker\/safety on defense, Maxey performs at a high level on both sides of the football. As a receiver, he caught 42 passes for 764 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior this past season. Maxey also collected 37 total tackles (28 solo) and logged a pair of pass breakups. He also got some work in as a kickoff returner, averaging 38.9 yards on nine returns – including logging a pair of kick return touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Maxey is the 11th commitment in Louisville’s 2027 recruiting class, which is on pace to be the best in school history. It not only ranks as the second-best class in the ACC (Miami), but the No. 12 class in the nation, per the 247Sports Composite. Five of their commitments are regarded as four-star prospects by the\u00a0composite.<\/p>\n
