Louisville football opened its fall camp on August 6, marking the first steps toward the 2026 season opener against Ole Miss in Nashville on September 6.
A Fresh Look for the Cardinals
Quarterback Lincoln Kienholz has been handed the reins of the offense, tasked with steering Jeff Brohm’s intricate playbook under the bright lights of fall practice.
The backfield boasts a deep rotation headed by Isaac Brown, with Keyjuan Brown, Braxton Jennings, Marquise Davis and Lekhy Thompkins vying for carries.
Defensive backs are being reshaped after the loss of three starters, though returning pieces Koen Entringer and Tayon Holloway provide continuity, while Clev Lubin and Ron English add depth.
The kicking game welcomes Garth White, a Rhode Island transfer who converted 14 of 18 field goals last season, including a 54‑yard effort that hinted at special‑teams upside.
Brohm’s Fourth Year
Coach Jeff Brohm enters his fourth season, chasing a fourth straight nine‑win campaign — a feat not achieved since his 2003‑06 tenure.
The Cardinals will navigate a nine‑game ACC schedule for the first time in program history, beginning with a showdown against Trinidad Chambliss and the Ole Miss Rebels.
Recruiting efforts have added 34 transfer portal athletes ranked 13th nationally and a top‑30 high school class of 21 signees, bolstering the roster’s depth.
