Tyler Thompson | DL | North Carolina
Louisville added three defensive linemen yesterday, including Kentucky transfers Jacob and Jerod Smith. The Cardinals also learned AJ Green will return to join Clev Lubin on the defensive front. Louisville, prioritizing the trenches, is still monitoring North Carolina transfer Tyler Thompson.
After three seasons with UNC, elite edge rusher Tyler Thompson is entering the portal. He visited Louisville this past weekend, and his recruitment is worth monitoring as Brohm targets trench strength next season.
Thompson is coming off a career season where he logged 26 tackles, 7.5 tackles for a loss, 7.0 sacks, two forced fumbles, and one pass breakup. He is ranked as high as No. 17 at the EDGE position and No. 138 in the portal.
