Brothers in Pads: Louisville football’s recent siblings

Siblings competing together — or more often, against each other — isn’t an uncommon occurrence in any sport. John and Jim Harbaugh coached against each other in Super Bowl 47 in 2013. Serena and Venus Williams have been a fixture in women’s tennis for over 20 years, winning a combined 30 Grand Slam singles and 28 doubles titles. The Klitschko brothers both earned world heavyweight titles in boxing and defended it multiple times during their illustrious careers.

With Dez and Christian Fitzpatrick set to compete as teammates in the 2020 season, Louisville football will have brothers on the team together once again.
