2024 Team Breakdowns: Louisville Cardinals

By Luke Brumm

Conference: ACC

2023 Record: 10-4

Head Coach: Jeff Bohm

Key Player: WR Ja'Corey Brooks

2024 Recruiting Class Ranking: 56th

Top Games: @ Notre Dame, Miami, @ Clemson, @ Kentucky

The Louisville Cardinals surprised a lot of people last year by winning double-digit games and making the ACC Championship game. They ended up losing to Florida State in that one, but the season should still be considered a success. In Jeff Brohm's first season, he turned the perception of this Louisville program around. They are now a team to be reckoned with in the conference and are working their way to becoming CFP contenders. I love what WR Transfer Ja'Corey Brooks brings to this offense and I can see him having a great bounce-back season after injuries cut his 2023 campaign short. He comes over from Alabama.

The Cardinals' key games come mostly away from home. Road games at Notre Dame, Clemson, and rivals Kentucky won't be easy and neither will hosting Miami. A stark contrast to last year's schedule, seen as one of the easiest for power conference teams. I like this team and head coach, and can see the Cardinals building toward greater success in the near future.
