LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Make that a trio of new transfer portal commitments for the Louisville football program on Thursday, this time landing one that is very familiar with the Cardinals.

Offensive lineman Jordan Church, who spent his first two seasons in college at Florida Atlantic, announced that he has committed to Louisville.

Church was previously committed to the Cardinals out of high school, but backed off that verbal pledge just days before head coach Scott Satterfield left for Cincinnati. The Bradenton, Fla. native eventually committed to FAU a couple weeks later.

After redshirting his true freshman campaign, the 6-foot-4, 315-pound offensive guard was elevated to starter for this season, and excelled in that role. Starting all 12 games at left guard, Church gave up just three sacks and 15 total pressures in 404 pass block snaps and 739 blocking snaps overall. He was named to the All-AAC Third Team by College Football Network for his efforts.

Church is the third transfer to commit to Louisville today, following FIU safety JoJo Evans and SEMO offensive guard Carter Guillaume. He's the fifth offensive lineman, and the 10th portal pickup for the Cardinals overall.

Dec. 9 marked the first day of college football’s winter transfer portal window. So far, Louisville has seen 17 players of their own enter the portal prior to the Dec. 28 deadline.

Louisville finished the 2024 regular season, the second under head coach Jeff Brohm, with an 8-4 overall record and 5-3 mark in ACC play. The Cardinals will cap off the year with a matchup against Washington in the Sun Bowl on New Year's Eve.
