’26 OT Joel Ervin Decommits from Louisville
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Louisville football program has been on a Class of 2026 recruiting hot streak as of late, however, now the program has experienced their first decommitment in the cycle.
Fort Myers (Fla.) HS offensive tackle Joel Ervin announced Monday that he has backed off
Ervin had been committed to Louisville for just 16 days, originally pulling the trigger back on Mar. 8 following an unofficial visit. But during those two-plus weeks, he continued to take visits to in-state schools, going to the campuses of Florida State, Miami and most recently Florida.
The 6-foot-6, 280-pound lineman ranks as high as the No. 54 tackle in the class and the No. 74 player in the Sunshine State, according to 247Sports’ in-house rankings. He comes in as the 722nd-ranked prospect by the 247Sports Composite.
Ervin was part of a Fort Myers offensive line that helped rush for 1,759 yards and 31 touchdowns over 12 games. The Green Wave went 8-4 on the year, including a berth in the FHSAA Class 5A regional semifinals.
