Gerod Holliman confirmed on Saturday that he has been cleared by the NCAA and will begin classes at U of L on Monday. The news was originally tweeted on Friday by Cardinal cornerback Andrew Johnson, a close friend of Holliman's.

Holliman, a former four-star safety who committed to Louisville live on national television during the 2011 U.S. Army All-American Bowl, was ranked as the No. 47 overall player in the class of 2011 by ESPN.com. He was viewed across the board as one of Charlie Strong's most important recruits in that class.

Holliman spent the past season at Milford Academy and is currently ranked as the No. 2 prep school player in the country, according to Rivals.com.

This is big, big news.

DePaul Day is real.
