Even with a record breaking amount of movement in the transfer portal over the last six to 12 months, the Louisville football program was extremely selective about taking any players who weren’t from the high school or junior college ranks.

After taking under the radar graduate transfers such as Ty Tyler, Thomas Jackson, and TJ Holl for the 2019 season, Louisville did it again this summer adding UConn offensive line Cam DeGeorge.

As a fifth year senior, DeGeorge is set to bring experience and leadership to the roster after starting in 34 of the 36 games he played in at UConn and playing at a very high level. He decided he wanted a new challenge, ultimately landing at Louisville, and was set to compete with Renato Brown at the right tackle position.

Playing for an offense that features the likes of Javian Hawkins, Micale Cunningham, and Tutu Atwell, DeGeorge has the potential to get more attention from scouts and front offices at the NFL level than he did before at UConn. Should a season be cancelled, who knows if DeGeorge would want to return to college for a sixth season thus potentially changing the trajectory of his professional career.

There are a lot of what if’s but with many guys not wanting to spend another full season on a college campus don’t be shocked to see a ton of sixth and seventh-year guys move on, should eligibility be retained by the NCAA.
