WKU's rise to prominence sells trio of Louisville transfers

Western Kentucky graduate transfer quarterback Tyler Ferguson was well aware of the Hilltoppers before he went to the University of Louisville.

Ferguson was recruited by then-WKU coach Bobby Petrino in 2013, then followed Petrino to Louisville when the coach began his second stint with the Cardinals.
