3. Tyler Thompson

Switching things to the defensive side here is star edge rusher Tyler Thompson. With Louisville building its offense, Brohm understands he has a lot of work to do on defense, especially the defensive line. Louisville lost key edge rusher AJ Green to the portal and will look to replace him, and a top target at the moment is Thompson.

The North Carolina transfer is a former Louisville target from the 2023 class and was a 4-star recruit. He is now ranked as high as No. 105 in the portal and the 12th-best edge rusher in the Transfer Portal. The Cardinals appear to be one of his top choices as he just wrapped up a visit to Louisville on Sunday, and nothing else has been reported.

So, a player immediatley every Louisville fan is watching from this point on is Thompson, as the Cards fans are hoping to hear some good news in the near future.
