How It Went: Woodstock OL Duran Christophe loves Louisville

Woodstock offensive lineman Duran Christophe made his first official visit to Louisville this weekend.

“I didn’t commit, but I came close,” Christophe said in a text message Sunday.

The 6-foot-6, 270-pound Christophe currently has offers from Louisville, N.C. State, Tulane, Alabama-Birmingham, ECU, Indiana and Middle Tennessee State. There are rumors that UGA or Georgia Tech may consider offering Christophe if other players each school has targeted sign with other teams.

Christophe’s next official visit is scheduled for N.C. State next week.

Rivals.com ranks Christophe as the 79th best offensive tackle in the nation.
