James Hearns: The defensive MVP that Louisville football needed

The Louisville football team lost one of their best linebackers, Trevon Young, in the Music City Bowl last year. This left the Cardinals with a huge hole in their defense, even with another star linebacker in DeVonte Fields. However, James Hearns has gone from a hopeful replacement to one of the best players on the Louisville football team.

We initially saw the burst he had against Charlotte, but let’s be real, I think we all had tempered expectations after that huge win to start the year. However, Hearns has kept his play up all season long and is looking like one of the best linebackers in the entire ACC.
