Louisville is having strong offseason following 9-4 campaign

Louisville is having an excellent offseason following its 9-4 record in season No. 3 under head coach Jeff Brohm. Along with hauling in 14 Transfer Portal additions, the Cardinals retained star running back Isaac Brown and EDGE rusher AJ Green, both of whom originally hit the Portal.

Across two seasons in the ‘Ville, Brown compiled 2,057 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns. Green had also emerged as an anchor of the Louisville defense in 2025, as he recorded 31 tackles, four sacks, and one forced fumble.

Louisville‘s 2025 season got off to a strong start, as it rose as high as No. 15 in the College Football Playoff Rankings following a 28-16 victory over Virginia Tech on Nov. 1. The Cardinals, sitting at 7-1, were staring at a slew of unranked opponents on their schedule heading down the final stretch.

They, however, dropped three consecutive games to Cal, Clemson, and SMU before closing the regular season strong with a 41-0 win over Kentucky. This sent them to the Boca Raton Bowl against Toledo, which they won 27-22 to wrap up a 9-4 campaign.
