No. 5: Tj Capers
T.J. Capers was one of the better players returning to this Louisville defense in 2025, and he is looking to make his first game statement in a Cardinal uniform against the Virginia offense. Capers came in as a freshman last season, and while he didn't make a huge impact, he did finish the year with 11 tackles and one interception.
Capers has only had 11 tackles on the season so far in 2025, and hasn't made more than five tackles in a game so far this season. At the same time, he also had only two tackles against Pitt last week. Capers also has yet to record a tackle for loss in a cardinal uniform, and what better opportunity than against one of the best offenses in the ACC?
This is a game Capers will try to make a statement against Virginia, and the fans shouldn't be surprised if he makes his way in the backfield to take down Virginia QB Chandler Morris for his first tackle for loss.
