Josh Minkins is likely looking around the Safety room like Will Smith in the last episode of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”. Minkins is the lone holdover from 2020 and he enters the 2021 season with just a slight bit more experience in Bryan Brown’s defense than all of the newcomers.
ShaDon Brown left Louisville for a Co-DC position at West Virginia and Russ Yeast hit the transfer portal before he got his pads off after the season's final game. That set the tone for an overhaul of the position group this summer with Louisville relying on a bevy of newcomers to improve the defense.
