Louisville football's wide receiver room is one of the most underrated units in the ACC. The Cardinals fans are quite high on this unit entering the 2025 season, but the ACC and the nation don't know many names outside of the two key returners in Chris Bell and Caullin Lacy.
For those two receivers to have their breakout seasons, many are expecting some new faces to step up and make an impact this season in that WR3 position. So, while many fans are excited to see Bell and Lacy take a massive leap in 2025, here are three under-the-radar wide receivers who could explode for Louisville in 2025.

3. Dacari Collins
The Cardinals got a few players from the Transfer Portal who are poised to make an immediate impact, and the transfer wide receiver from North Carolina State, Dacari Collins, is one of those players. Collins initially committed to Clemson as a 4-star recruit out of high school but transferred to the Wolfpack after two seasons and received minimal playing time.
At North Carolina State, he earned 34 catches for 526 receiving yards and four touchdowns, proving he can be a WR3 in the ACC. He is coming off his best season in his college football career after logging 24 catches for 312 yards and two touchdowns. He had six games with at least 40 receiving yards in his two seasons with the Wolfpack, and last season he had three games with at least 40 receiving yards, two games with at least 50 receiving yards, and logged his career high 62 receiving yards against North Carolina.
Now, the 6-foot-4, 215-pound receiver will look to play for his third ACC team, and after a strong fall camp performance, the Cardinals believe he will be one of their top threats when he is on the field.
