Louisville football lands its second quarterback of the Transfer Portal as West Georgia transfer Davin Wydner just committed to Jeff Brohm and the Louisville Cardinals. The quarterback position is, of course, one the Cards need to target these last few days of the portal, as Louisville had only two quarterbacks on the depth chart before Wydner committed.
Louisville landed Ohio State transfer Lincoln Kienholz earlier this offseason, as the former 4-star recruit is expected to be Brohm’s starting quarterback next season. Also on the depth chart is 4-star 2026 commitment, Briggs Cherry. Brohm and Louisville fans have high expectations for Cherry as the Tennessee native is now a consensus 4-star and continues to climb up the 2026 rankings, as he is now as high as the No. 18 QB in the class.
Joining Cherry and Kienholz is the Cards' newest commitment and West Georgia transfer.
Blessed would be an understatement. University of Louisville let’s go !! ❤️🤍 pic.twitter.com/XFnbow2Zwc
