Noah King | CB | Colorado

Colorado transfer Noah King, a former 4-star high school recruit with significant upside, could be a strong fit for Louisville. As the portal window closes, the Cardinals are likely reaching out to several defensive backs, and King—a 6-foot-3, 195-pound defensive back from Ohio—stands out as a target. He was ranked as high as No. 218 in the 2025 class and was the 26th-best cornerback.

It might be worth prioritizing someone Louisville can develop and play alongside 4-star commit Allen Evans, and King is an excellent target. He earned a total of 41 tackles, four pass breakups, four tackles for a loss, and one interception in high school. As for his lone season with Colorado, he redshirted his freshman season, giving him four more years of eligibility.
