2026 Karsten Busch 4* LB from Louisville, KY (St. Xavier) PreCommit Thread (Flips to the Canes From Louisville)

[Dwinstitles]

Surprised no one has posted a summary.

Last year ended at 218 and running 4.68 40. Started his senior year at 232 running a 4.40. Measurables off the charts. Prototypical senior year riser that fits the profile. Trainer says he's got a 5* athletic profile.

Didn't camp, focused on improving this athleticism. I see why schools are throwing NIL $ at him.

If the bold is true, holy sh. Everyone will be after him ain’t no way

Another one like Nagle I saw a little earlier that looked intriguing

Their not the best in football but St.X is a good school in Louisville

Who the **** is gonna be here for his visit when it starts?.

he must have real interest though to fall through right before signing day

Flying in Saturday night. We would be back by then.

Yes this is 100% a case of his trainer hand-timed him and declared he ran a 4.40. 4.68 laser as a junior still means he's pretty fast, so please close on him. We better ****t on Pitt, for many reasons, but this is gonna be an awkward af visit if we don't.

We need to attack the LB room like they did with DBs. Just bring in as many as you can and let it sort itself out.

Agree,can't have guys like Aguirre starting.Need major upgrade.

Going to be interesting to see what the group looks like after Heatherman had a whole season to recruit. Marzekiel Marcelin has stood out a couple of times on special teams.

Aguirre been that bad or just the LB room as a whole?

Just need to be better.

Was an elite defense with average LB in my opinion. Imagine what this defense will look like with great LB play.
