Louisville has lost its second former U.S. Army All-American of the offseason with Nick Dawson-Brent's announcement that he intends to transfer elsewhere for his senior season. Dawson-Brents graduated from U of L in December, and will be eligible to play his final season somewhere else in 2016.
Dawson-Brents' recruitment (back then it was just Dawson) was one of the most heavily-followed by Louisville fans in 2011-12. The Georgia native ultimately picked U of L over the likes of Auburn, Clemson, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, UCLA, Vanderbilt and Tennessee.
Things never really went according to plan for Dawson-Brents at Louisville.
