With the transfer portal officially open, it’s a good time to launch the Louisville football 2026 offseason roster tracker.

Below is a chart featuring all scholarship players on this fall’s roster, and it will be updated as players announce their plans to stay, leave, or join the Cardinals program.

Also added are the 19 incoming freshmen, many of whom are expected to enroll in the spring semester of this academic year.

As of Thursday, January 8, here are the players who have entered the transfer portal.

That makes 22 Cardinals who are already in the portal.

More will be coming.

Jeff Brohm’s team has now won nine games for the third consecutive season, marking the first time since the Cards achieved the feat from 2012-14.
