The Cardinals head into the 2024 season with one of the deeper group of defensive backs in the ACC.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville football program heads into the upcoming 2024 season with a fair amount of depth across the board. The coaching has praised the amount of quality depth on the offensive and defensive lines, while several playmakers have began to emerge in fall camp at the wide receiver and tight end positions.
The crown jewel of the Cardinals' secondary is, unsurprisingly, returning cornerback Quincy Riley. He led the ACC in pass defense last season at 15, and is generally regarded as a top-100 player in all of college football. As you can imagine, the senior corner has dominated in fall camp, and very clearly looks to be playing on Sunday once his college career is over.
Here is where we have the most anticipated return on the entire roster in M.J. Griffin. He played a crucial role in Louisville's defensive turnaround during the 2022 season, but was forced to miss the entire 2023 season due to an injury suffered last camp.
In fact, English went as far to say that this is the deepest secondary that he has seen since 2003, when he was the defensive backs coach at Michigan. This was a Wolverines secondary that allowed just 180.5 passing yards per game, highlighted by a pair of future All-Americans in cornerback Marlin Jackson and safety Ernest Shazor, as well as a future first round NFL Draft pick in Leon Hall.
