“South Carolina was, you know, planning on me signing with them after prep school,” said Mauldin, a 6-foot-4, 240-pound senior. “I don’t believe they thought I would make the [qualifying test] score. It kind of made me feel like they were wishing for me to not make the score. “[Louisville] Coach [Charlie] Strong had faith in me from the beginning. He said he believes I’m going to make the score and said I could be out there with them in no time. They were straight forward with me. There wasn’t a bunch of playing around with the whole thing. So I decided to take his offer and become a Cardinal.”Mauldin still needs to earn a qualifying standarized test score to become eligible to play in the fall of 2011. He was rated a three-star prospect and had offers from many SEC and ACC schools across the southeast. If he does qualify, Louisville will have added three very good defensive ends in Mauldin, Deiontrez Mount, and B.J. Dubose. All three could see playing time if qualified.
