Louisville’s defense saw a big improvement in the 2020 season but there is still a lot of room to grow. With the addition of a key transfer as well as a handful of freshmen who are on campus for spring practice, the unit should have the depth it’s been chasing for two years.

At some point early in the season I see Victoine Brown forcing his way into this rotation but I’m not sure that he will get into game shape in time to be a regular contributor. The group has played a lot of snaps now, so experience isn’t an issue any more. The question, of course, is how productive this group can be. I personally see Diaby having a good year with the others providing good depth.
