Louisville football has signed stud wide receiver Devaughn Mortimer to close out National Signing Day.
What began as a small class lacking much luster has picked up steam for Louisville football on National Signing Day.
After a series of power 5 commitments to begin the week, Louisville will close out signing day with perhaps its biggest flip in program history.
Four-star speedy receiver Devaughn Mortimer has flipped his commitment and signed with UofL.
On a day when most will be focused on FSU losing the No. 1 player in the country to an HBCU, it shouldn’t go overlooked that Louisville swooped in and grabbed FSU’s receiver of the future.
Here is what Andrew Ivins of 247Sports had to say about Mortimer:
“A play-making slot receiver that doubles as a dangerous return man. Blessed with elite foot speed (state qualifier in both the 100 and 200-meter dashes as a junior). On the smaller side having measured 5-foot-9, but plays with a much bigger catch radius than his frame would initially suggest. Fires out of his stance looking to quickly stack and attack defensive backs. Has a natural feel for the position and knows how to find a soft spot in a defense. Rather crafty with the ball in his hands and is more than capable of picking up chunks of yardage after the catch. Will need to add some core strength over the next few years in hopes of not being overpowered by larger defenders. Must also continue to evolve as a route runner. Should, however, be able to contribute right away on special teams for a Power 5 program given ability to flip the field on a dime. Likely to settle in as an inside receiver that offensive coordinators design touches for every week (think swing passes and jet sweeps). Has all-conference type of upside if everything comes together.”
