The Louisville football program's recruiting department has reportedly just received a major boost.
Kentucky tight ends/associate head coach and recruiting coordinator Vince Marrow is "expected" to become the next general manager for the Cardinals, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. Marrow is finalizing a three-year deal with Louisville, and he will oversee roster management, recruiting and the transfer portal, per Thamel.
Marrow has been with Kentucky since Mark Stoops was hired as the head coach in 2013. He's also served as the Wildcats' recruiting coordinator since 2014, and added the title of associate head coach in 2019. During his time on Stoops' staff, he has been a dominant force in recruiting the Midwest, as well as one of the top recruiters in all of college football.
All 12 of UK's recruiting classes since Marrow became their recruiting coordinator have ranked in the top-40, four have ranked in the top-25, and his best class came in 2022 when it ranked as the No. 14 class in the nation - all per the 247Sports Composite. Of the 25 highest-ranked recruits of the modern era (since 1999) to commit to Kentucky, 19 of them came while Marrow was their recruiting coordinator.
