Sad News: About a minute ago Louisville Key Player die in a Car Cr…..

Shough, Bailey and Pierce Clarkson were the only quarterbacks to record a pass for Louisville this season.

But the Cardinals were down to only Bailey by the end of the year after Clarkson, who had 11 yards on 3-for-4 passing this season, opted to transfer.

Backup QBs include true freshman Deuce Adams; Brady Allen, who withdrew from the transfer portal; and Sam Young, who converted to wide receiver but still is listed as a QB on the roster.

Bailey, who spent his first two years at Tennessee, transferred to Louisville prior to the 2023 season, but his time on the field has been limited.

He only played in one game last year and only played in the first two games of the 2024 campaign. The Georgia native went 8-for-8 passing for 63 yards during that time.

Bailey won’t be the only new starter. The Cardinals also will be without starting wide receiver Ja’Corey Brooks, who totaled 1,013 yards and nine touchdowns on 61 receptions.

He knows he’s got some good players around him.

We got to make sure that we utilize all those and not put too much pressure on him,”

Brohm said of Bailey. “But anytime you’re a quarterback who doesn’t get to see the field, when you get that opportunity, you want to try to grasp and run with it.

So I’m hopeful that we play well rounded, he relaxes and goes out there (and) plays. But I know he’s looking forward to it.”
