1. Antonio Meeks

While Chris Bell and Caullin Lacy are getting all the hype for the Cardinals' returning wide receivers, Antonio Meeks is flying severely under the radar. Meeks didn't make a significant impact last season as he only hauled in three catches for 42 yards and a touchdown, but the wide receiver is one of the few players who stood out in the spring and the fall.

Meeks is expected to take a massive leap from 2024 to 2025 and start as Jeff Brohm and Deion Branch's WR3. He transferred in from Tuskegee University, where he played his first two seasons and put up insane numbers. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound receiver logged 74 receptions for 1,437 yards and 11 touchdowns while he was with the Tigers, including his sophomore season, when he caught 43 catches for 745 yards and five touchdowns.

Meeks is a receiver whom Branch has praised all offseason, and after his 28-yard reception for a touchdown against Washington in the Sun Bowl, he enters 2025 as a receiver the nation might not know about, but Louisville fans are excited for.
