4. Louisville has two 1,000 yard receivers

Chris Bell and Caullin Lacy will become one of the best duos in the ACC and the nation. While the whole country is high on Bell, Lacy is a name that is flying under the radar. Some people may have forgotten just how dominant he was with South Alabama, but with Moss at quarterback and Bell on the other side getting a lot of attention, Lacy is poised for another breakout season.

Lacy has reached 1,000 yards or more before, and he can/will do it again. He was top 10 in 2023 with receptions and receiving yards, and now that he is back and healthy, don't be shocked when he becomes an All-ACC receiver and hits that 1,000-yard marker again. As for Bell, he is one of the Cardinals' biggest game-changers this upcoming season and has NFL Draft stock already.

Bell is expected to take over as WR1 for Louisville this season and be that dominant physical wide receiver they need. Last season, he was playing behind Ja'Corey Brooks and still earned 43 receptions for 757 receiving yards. Now that he is taking over the offense and is earning preseason All-ACC honors, Bell should take the league by storm and dominate the 2025 season.
