PrintXavier "Zay" Sharp, a running back from Griffin, Ga. became the 12th player from the class of 2011 to commit to Charlie Strong and the University of Louisville when he did so Friday evening.
At 6-2, 220-pounds, Sharp will provide some much-needed size and power to a backfield that will become markedly thinner once it loses Bilal Powell to graduation.
Sharp, who is also a track standout, had received interest from Miami, Michigan, Auburn and North Carolina, among others before signing with U of L. He attended Louisville's spring game on April 17.
I like this man.

I like him too
The renewed excitement in Louisville football is palpable. Seems like an eternity until we can officially begin to celebrate. We can only go up from here.
Go Cards!
Also...
Apparently the QB transferring from UGA was turned away by Strong. Apparently he canceled the visit and was quoted as saying “They won’t take me.”
I didn’t think Strong was that desperate for a QB.
I'm still having to pinch myself a little bit when I read the other schools on these kids lists after they commit to us.
I know it’s been said before, but schools like Miami, Michigan, Auburn, and even UNC with Butch Davis there, are certainly a far cry from the MAC and C-USA schools with whom we were competing for recruits when what’s his face was here.

Love this; we need power running backs
Coaching aside, we could’ve won a 3 or 4 more games over the last couple years if we had a guy like Anthony Allen in the red zone.

Behold... the power of Strong.
