Mekhi Becton’s late addition helped turn a good offensive line haul into a great one for Louisville.

Becton, Louisville’s top remaining recruiting target, chose the Cardinals over Michigan, Virginia Tech, Virginia and Oregon during a national signing day press conference at Highland Springs (VA).

Rated the No. 50 OT by 247Sports, Becton, 6’7, 315, joins offensive linemen Caleb Chandler, Ronald Rudd, Toryque Bateman and Cole Bentley to form one of the top offensive line classes in the nation for the Cardinals.

Many thought Becton would stay in state, with Virginia Tech the most likely option, but Louisville worked him hard down the stretch, led by offensive coordinator Lonnie Galloway.
