Louisville Football's 2022 Preseason Depth Chart Unveiled

The Cardinals now have their starters to kickoff the upcoming 2022 season.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - With the 2022 season opener at Syracuse less than 50 days away, we now have an answer as to who will start for the Cardinals.

Ahead of the 2022 ACC Football Kickoff, the University of Louisville football program released their 2022 Media Guide, which included their preseason depth chart.

There is a healthy amount of returning regular starters, with a sprinkling of transfers and players lifted into new starting roles. Louisville returns 17 players who notched at least one start in 2021, and of the 23 offensive and defensive starting role, only six are filled by those who had not previously started a game.
