A position group that many fans have their eyes on entering the 2025 season is the Cardinals' defensive line. Louisville football lost crucial pieces from last season as they lost All-American edge rusher Ashton Gillotte to the Kansas City Chiefs, and then were gut-wrenched by players who they expected to step up, like Jared Dawson, Woo Spencer, and Mason Reiger.
However, Jeff Brohm's defensive line is quickly turning heads early on in fall camp, and the vibe around the locker room is that this position might not be as weak as some may think. ESPN reported that this was the Cardinals' biggest weakness heading into the 2025 season, but after the first week or so of fall camp, the defensive line is proving they can compete and hold their ground.
