Louisville football's defense has some areas of concern, but one position that fans are highly confident in is the linebacker group. While Stanquan Clark and TJ Quinn are the two stars of the room, other names like Antonio Watts and former 5-star TJ Capers are beginning to make names for themselves.
Capers was initially a 5-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class and was even ranked as high as the No. 5 recruit. However, he would reclass and enter the 2024 recruiting class, and enrolled at Louisville that summer. He is now entering his third year with the Cardinals, and while injuries have highlighted his first two seasons, the former 5-star is taking massive strides in the right direction and now earning reps with the first team.
