2. Rising: WR, Chris Bell
Chris Bell returns to Louisville for his senior season after proving he was a formidable No. 2 option to Ja’Corey Brooks in last year's campaign. Bell posted 43 receptions for 737 yards and four touchdowns alongside Brooks in his junior season.
He will take on the role of the seasoned veteran this upcoming season alongside returning Cardinal Caullin Lacy, who looks to rebound from a season-ending injury last year. Bell is viewed by many as the leader of the wide receiver room. Bell, along with Lacy and others in the wide receiver room, will look to establish the passing game with Miller Moss as the perfect complement to the run game in Jeff Brohm's offense.
Bell enters the 2025 season with extremely high expectations, as many fans and experts think he is trending to have an All-ACC caliber season.
