An Updated Look at Louisville Football's 2026 Roster

Spring ball for the Louisville football program is well in the rear view mirror, but unlike this time last year, there haven't been a ton of moving pieces since practice ended back in April.

With the removal of the spring transfer portal window, the Cardinals didn't have to worry about any of their top players jumping ship. That being said, with a handful of injuries popping up, UofL did add a few transfers to address those needs. As a result, as of May 9, Louisville is sitting at an 86-man scholarship roster for the 2026 season.

Let's take a look below at the current scholarship players suiting up for the Cardinals in 2026:
