Louisville QB Malik Cunningham will utilize his final year of collegiate eligibility and return to direct the Cardinal offense for one final season. He announced the decision on social media Friday morning.
Cunningham played easily the best football of his life in 2021, throwing for more than 2,700 yards and 18 touchdowns, while rushing for 968 yards and another 19 scores. In Louisville’s 62-22 throttling of Duke in the penultimate game of the regular season, Cunningham became just the second player in the history of FBS football to throw for over 300 yards and rush for over 200 yards in the same game.
