LOUISVILLE, Ky. - While there is still one game left in the regular season, this is still a busy time of year head coach Jeff Brohm and the Louisville football program off the field. On top of signing their 2025 recruiting class, they have the task of navigating the transfer portal.

In this day and age of the one-time transfer rule and NIL, the Cardinals are expected to see a ton of movement between players leaving and players opting to join the program.

Devin Neal

Position: Safety
Transfer Date: Oct. 5, 2024

Neal joined a transfer from Baylor ahead of the 2023 season, and instantly made an impact. Playing in all 14 games while starting 13, the 6-foot-0, 210-pound safety wound up leading the team in interceptions with four, was second in tackles with 74, and also finished with 3.0 tackles for loss, six pass breakups and a fumble recovery. He earned Third-Team All-ACC honors.

The Lexington, Ky native was expected to be another significant contributor for Louisville's secondary, but came off the bench in Louisville's first four games of the season before taking a redshirt. During his three seasons with the Bears before joining Louisville, Neal collected 67 total tackles (50 solo), 3.0 tackles for loss, 1.0 sacks, two picks, two forced fumbles and a pass breakup.

Aaron Williams

Position: Cornerback
Transfer Date: Nov. 29, 2024

A highly-regarded prospect coming out of high school, Williams' two-year career at Louisville has been marred by injuries. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound corner had to miss his true freshman season in 2023 due a torn ACL suffered towards the end of his senior season in high school. This season, he has played in just four games mainly on special teams due to a nagging shoulder injury, logging one tackle.

The Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco product was a consensus four-star prospect coming out of high school, and ranked as high as the No. 152 recruit in the nation by Rivals. As a senior, he tallied 50 tackles, two interceptions, three tackles for a loss and a sack.
