Transfer portal season is quickly winding down, and teams are making their final pitches to players who remain in the portal as they decide on their future. Louisville football has had a strong showing in the portal this cycle, with Jeff Brohm, Vince Marrow, and the program providing answers to many areas, as players have lost to the portal themselves or to exhausted eligibility as seniors. With the final week of the portal season upon us, it's time for Louisville’s recruiting staff to hone in on the major needs left with the roster and finish the job.
The vast majority of the players who have entered the portal have already found their new homes for next season. However, there are still quite a few talented individuals seeking their next role and the perfect fit. With time becoming a factor, it is still in Louisville’s best interest to vet the remaining players in the portal and ensure that the players they bring in commit to the Cardinals are talent, position, and culture fits for the team. This last week will be critical for ensuring the proper depth, as well as potentially star power, is provided at each position for the Cardinals.
Here are 3 players to target and 2 to avoid as the Cardinals enter the last week of the transfer portal window.
