4. Clev Lubin

Key transfer Clev Lubin stares at Louisville's defensive line. The Coastal Carolina transfer didn't slow down after making the jump to the ACC and has been one of the best defensive linemen not just for Louisville but in the ACC. It is hard to see Lubin transfer from Louisville, but after his two dominant seasons, he is starting to gain traction in the NFL Draft.

Lubin is fourth on the team in total tackles with 48 and is first on the team with five sacks. He also has three pass deflections and has been one of the best edge rushers in the ACC and in the nation. The Cardinals' star defender transferred to Louisville after finishing 15th in the nation with 9.5 sacks in 2024 and added 12.5 tackles for a loss.

He is a dominant force on defense, and he will be playing on Sundays. With Louisville's slide this 2025 season, it wouldn't be shocking to see him declare for the 2026 NFL Draft.
