Three-star offensive lineman Gage Luther commits to Memphis

Memphis picked up its third commitment of the weekend with the addition of offensive tackle Gage Luther. The interior offensive lineman out of Mississippi spent the weekend on a visit with the Tigers, and the staff impressed him enough to secure a commitment.

Luther was one of seven players on campus this weekend, and he joins wide receiver Aubrey Johnson and defensive back Malik Dean Jr. as players to commit after their visits.

Luther is listed as a three-star by 247Sports and Rivals, and he’s the No. 130 interior offensive lineman in the class, according to 247Sports. At 6-foot-6 and 305 pounds, he helped lead Pontotoc High School to a 7-5 record, and he was named a First Team All-State offensive lineman.

According to 247Sports, Luther scheduled three official visits, and he entered the weekend with a visit to Virginia Tech set for next weekend. The offensive lineman spent the first week of June in New Orleans on an official visit with Tulane before visiting Charles Huff and the Tigers.

The Mississippi native posted that he would be visiting Colorado on June 5, but it looks like he cancelled that visit before heading to visit the Green Wave.

Luther was originally scheduled to visit Memphis on June 15, but the visit was moved up to this weekend. 

The offensive lineman holds 19 offers, according to 247Sports, and the Tigers offered him on March 12. He took unofficial visits at Mississippi State, Arkansas and Virginia Tech in the spring, but this is only his second official visit of the summer.

Memphis’ offensive line coach Andy Kwon visited Luther on May 5, and general manager Corey Phillips visited him on May 12.

Luther becomes the fourth commit in the 2027 class, joining Johnson, Dean and quarterback Ethan Tisdale. Tisdale committed to Memphis on May 22, becoming the first commit in the class.

All four commits were on campus this weekend, with three committing after the visit. It probably didn’t hurt to have Tisdale on campus helping in the recruiting efforts.

While they picked up three commitments this weekend, wide receiver MJ Knight committed to Georgia Southern while on his official visit with the Tigers.

With four commits, Memphis has the eighth most commitments in the American. It will be interesting to see if they are able to land any more players who were on campus.

Huff and his staff have been extremely busy to start the month, and they are scheduled to host more recruits over the next few weeks.
