Louisville’s fourth day of fall camp brought more of the same in the best way possible for Brian Brohm’s offense: quarterbacks stacking good days, and the staff liking what it sees from the room’s depth.
Working through a second straight practice in pads under the hot morning sun, the Cardinals kept the focus on getting better at every spot. But the quarterback group stood out again, and Brohm said he’s encouraged by how the competition is shaping up around starter Lincoln Kienholz, West Georgia transfer Davin Wydner and true freshman Briggs Cherry.
“I feel really good about the depth,” he said. “I think Lincoln's done a great job.
Davin has come in and done a done a really good job after a couple of years of starting at a lower level and come in with some experience, some savvy. He's looked really good.
I think Briggs, for a freshman, has come in and been really sharp. He's thrown the ball extremely well.
And the more reps he gets, the more comfortable he gets in the offense, it's all just going to start clicking even better. But him just being able to drop back, see it and throw the football has been really impressive.”
Brohm also pointed to the athleticism in the room, a trait that’s clearly part of what’s making the group stand out early in camp.
The other development from Tuesday came with star running back Isaac Brown. He picked up a few more reps with his position group in the first half of practice before spending the last half back with the trainer.
“The more we can get Isaac out there, the better,” Brian Brohm said. “Obviously, when we get the football in his hands, big things happen. So, as long as he keeps progressing, gets back out there, get him into some team stuff, get him comfortable with the quarterbacks, we know he's going to be right.”
Louisville is scheduled to resume fall camp Thursday morning at 9:45 am.

Louisville Could Still Add The Piece That Changes Everything
Louisville has already leaned heavily on the transfer portal this offseason, building what looks like a deeper and more competitive roster for the next few seasons. Even with that work largely done, the Cardinals now have a new wrinkle to consider after the NCAA granted an extra year of eligibility to the class of 2022, opening the door for more experienced talent to come back to college and reshuffle the market.
Among the names drawing attention is Seth Trimble, with Louisville reported to be one of the programs showing interest. Trimble spent time in the NBA Summer League and is still sorting out whether his next step will be professional basketball or a return to the college game, leaving the Cardinals in a familiar spot for this time of year: positioned near the front of the conversation while the rest of the decision remains unsettled.

Louisville Is Getting The Kind Of Preseason Buzz Fans Craved
Preseason lists do not decide anything, but they do say plenty about how a program is being viewed heading into August, and Louisville is finally getting the kind of attention its fans have been waiting for. Joel Klatt put the Cardinals at No. 19 in his 2026 preseason top 25, a nod to Jeff Brohms work and the steadiness Louisville has shown under him, with nine-win seasons becoming the baseline rather than the exception.
The buzz is not just about what Brohm has already built, either. Louisville backed it up with one of the nations best Transfer Portal hauls, adding quarterback Lincoln Kienholz and running back Isaac Brown to a roster that now has real ACC contender language attached to it. The early test will come quickly, with Ole Miss waiting on opening weekend, and that kind of spotlight will tell a lot about whether the Cardinals are ready to turn preseason optimism into something bigger.
