Louisville’s 2025 football season ended with an absolute bang over Thanksgiving weekend when the ailing Cardinals stomped all over the visiting Kentucky Wildcats 41-0. The blowout came as a surprise to most since the Cardinals entered the game with a 3-game skid, losing to California, Clemson, and SMU in consecutive weeks. It was a positive end to a season that many in Louisville wished had been more productive.
Even with the disappointing second half of the season, this Louisville team provided for some major wins and fun moments for Cards fans. The win against the No. 2 ranked Miami Hurricanes, a team that recently snuck into the College Football Playoff as the ACC’s lone participant, will go down as one of the best in Louisville football history. This win and these great moments could not have happened without the group of talented seniors that led the way at all position groups. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the senior leaders that put their heart and soul into this year’s Louisville football squad.
Here are 10 players who will definitely not be returning to Louisville football for next season.
