Louisville Football Position Previews: Running Backs
Out of any position group for the Louisville football team, running backs probably require the fewest words. Isaac Brown and Keyjuan Brown enter the year with a very strong argument to be the best two-man combo in the country. Chris Barclay has earned his reputation as one of the best running back coaches in the […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 9 Days Until Kickoff’
ANTONIO WATTS #9 Height: 6’2” Weight: 225lb Position: DB Class: Fifth Year Hometown: Columbus, GA Summary: On any given play you can find Antonio Watts lined up close to the line of scrimmage, back in a more traditional linebacker front, or a bit deeper like a coverage corner. He can play inside, he can play […]

Louisville Football Position Previews: Defensive Line
Louisville entered the portal window this offseason with a focus on the offensive line, but one could argue that they ended up better off on the other side of the trenches. The staff secured the return of Clev Lubin and AJ Green to man the edges, then they went to work to replace the seniors […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 10 Days Until Kickoff’
KALEB BEASLEY #10 Height: 6’1” Weight: 200lb Position: DB Class: Junior Hometown: Nashville, TN Summary: Beasley was a notable name out of high school, a consensus Top 150 guy out of Nashville who stuck close to home to play for the Volunteers over in Knoxville. Beasley played rotationally for a couple seasons and put up […]
Seedy K’s Peerless Pigskin Prognostications: Week 0
Long ago, far away, before the dawn of time, I dwelled and did dwell well at the Louisville Eccentric Observer. There was a column, known far and wide as “Rumor & Innuendo.” It is from that weekly feature that the bastardization of my initials morphed into my nom de plume. The main attraction of that […]
Louisville Football Position Previews: Wide Receivers
Jeff Brohm is well known for his ability to build an explosive passing game utilizing an assortment of different receivers. The list of NFL receivers who played for Brohm is quite long, and he helped Chris Bell reach his potential last season. This year, Brohm will have a fresh group of pass catchers who have […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 11 Days Until Kickoff’
TJ CAPERS #11 Height: 6’2” Weight: 225lb Position: LB Class: Senior Hometown: Miami, FL Summary: Seems like we’ve been talking about TJ Capers for eight seasons, and that’s a good thing. The guy came in as a freshman and turned heads quickly, earning reps right form the jump and making impact plays even as a […]
Tuesday afternoon Cardinal news and notes

Before joining those […]
Louisville Football Position Previews: Special Teams
Louisville ended last year with one of the best kicking games in the country while also being one of the worst punting units in all of college football. At this point, one could argue that the goal this season is to just have a kicking game that can get the bare minimum done. The staff […]
Seedy K’s Dandy Dozen
It’s Football Week. Time to reveal who shall be playing for the Crown at season’s end. I have confabbed with no artificial intelligence “beings” when compiling the following list. I have consulted nary a single analytics guru, nor any compiler and collator of data*. *Though I did have lunch with such a person recently, a […]
Louisville Football Position Previews: Cornerbacks
In Steve Ellis we trust. That’s the way I view Louisville’s newly promoted Co-Defensive Coordinator and world-class cornerbacks coach. Ellis has made a career of scouting under-the-radar corner prospects and turning them into NFL players. This past NFL draft was the first time that Ellis did not have a player drafted, and you could argue […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 13 Days Until Kickoff’
TAYON HALLOWAY #13 Height: 6’1” Weight: 190lb Position: DB Class: Fifth Year Hometown: Virginia Beach, VA Summary: One could argue that Tayon Halloway is the face of the Louisville secondary.

‘The Cardinal Countdown: 14 Days Until Kickoff’
JACKSON VOTH #14 Height: 5’11” Weight: 190lb Position: WR Class: Junior Hometown: Cheney, KS Summary: Voth recorded ZERO drops last year for Drake….and couldn’t even make it through the offseason without “dropping” his number from 86 to 14. I covered Voth in what feels like about 4 months ago, but you can go back and […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 15 Days Until Kickoff’
JULIUS MILES #15 Height: 6’6” Weight: 220lb Position: TE Class: Freshman Hometown: Freeport, FL Summary: Joke all you want about the play on words, but I absolutely love a good tight end….and I wish Brohm would fall in love with the position again very soon. While I believe Brody Foley will open his eyes to […]
The 2026 Louisville Football Media Guide Is Here
I thought they may have forgot about us. Here we are 16 days from kickoff, we’ve been waiting patiently to hear something, we’re a couple weeks past our usually drop date, tensions were rising, we had nothing to show for for our resilience….until now. The time is here once again for all football degenerates and […]
What A Revolting Day This Turned Out To Be
Worked out, went to the grocery, sat down for a late but healthy lunch, and as I’m wont to do, flipped open my laptop, turned to the Chron to check out any developments on the Cardinal front. Then I learned that the London Johnson Era, such as it was, is not a thing anymore. Of […]

A statement from U of L read simply: “London Johnson has been dismissed from the University of Louisville men’s basketball team due to a violation of team rules and University policy. We wish […]
Now what?
Who’s ready for a law school dropout to try and break down, from a legal standpoint, what’s currently happening with these fifth year “ghost” transfers? Don’t everybody raise their hands at once. This morning, approximately one hour after U of L officially announced the signing of 5th year transfer Seth Trimble, the Tenth Circuit Court […]
U of L officially announces addition of Seth Trimble
He’s locked in: University of Louisville men’s basketball head coach Pat Kelsey announced the addition of fifth-year Seth Trimble to the 2026-27 roster. “Seth Trimble is one of the steadying forces in college basketball,” said Kelsey on the addition. “There’s no question that he will have an immediate impact on what we have been building this offseason. […]
Louisville Football Position Previews: Tight Ends
If one were to start a discussion about which position group is the most improved on the team, tight end would be a great place to start. Jeff Brohm is known for having great production from his tight ends, but that hasn’t been the case during his time at Louisville. Brohm and his staff went […]
‘The Cardinal Countdown: 16 Days Until Kickoff’
Cardinals History By The Numbers No one on the Louisville Football team is wearing #16 this year, nor will they ever, as Johnny Unitas is just one of two Louisville jerseys to be officially retired.
