Todd Brigman, a 5-foot-9 and 170 pound wide receiver from Tallahassee (Fla.) Lincoln, made a commitment to play in Conference USA for the next four to five years with his best friend Brent Moody.

“Brent and I committed to Louisville on January 1st,” Brigman, who has been timed in the 100-meter dash in 10.4 seconds, said. “Coach Petrino called us up while we were watching the Sugar Bowl, and we went ahead and committed to him.”

Bridman likes the fact that Louisville throws the ball a lot and he likes the location. But the biggest factor was his teammate.

“One of the main reasons for picking Louisville was because Brent’s going,” he said. “We have been best friends since the 9th grade. We hope to room together up there.”

The Tallahassee native will officially visit the Cardinals this weekend, and he has no plans to visit any other schools.

He chose Louisville over Army, Navy, Louisiana State, Central Florida and Northwestern.
