4. Realistic - Zion Ferguson
The main reason North Carolina transfer Zion Ferguson is a realistic target is that Louisville was one of the main teams that went after this elite cornerback when he was in high school. The former Tar Heel entered the portal late last night and raised many eyebrows. He was a top cornerback out of high school and received 40 offers.
The 6'0, 165-pound cornerback was a top player out of high school. According to On3, he was ranked the No. 532 overall recruit and the No. 56 cornerback in his class. His ability to shut receivers down while tracking the ball is one glaring reason he was an Under Armour All-American in high school.
Now, this will be a tough player for Louisville as Ferguson is expected to be recruited by elite programs like Michigan, Tennessee, Oregon, Georgia, Ole Miss, and many more. However, this is a realistic target because if Brohm can get a hold of the North Carolina transfer and pitch that he would immediately impact this team and be CB1 for Louisville, it would be a pitch this other schools can't say.
Ferguson is a redshirt freshman with all four years of eligibility left. This is an elite playmaker for the defense that can impact Brohm's secondary immediately but also be a player for the future. The Cardinals must go after this young corner, as he is ranked as the No. 11 best cornerback in the portal right now.
